This is the touching moment a boat crew rescues two baby turtles stuck in a lobster pot.<br /><br />The marine creature faced a painful death after getting tangled in the nets near the Similan Islands off the coast of southern Thailand. <br /><br />But passing speedboat captain Sathaporn Karimkarn spotted the creature struggling as the net floated on the surface of the sea. <br /><br />Sathaporn, who had just dropped off tourists from a snorkelling trip, floated over to the marine creature and two crew members hauled it aboard. <br /><br />They cut the turtle free and released it back into the ocean at 6pm on May 14.<br /><br />Captain Sathaporn said: ''From a distance, I thought it was a big fish so I decided to continue towards the pier to send back our day trip guests first.<br /><br />"But the image stayed in my mind, and on our way back we stopped by at nets and found two baby turtles instead. <br /><br />''We decided to help them and bring those fishnets aboard to release the trapped turtles. Luckily it was easy and I hope they won't get caught again. I said to them 'lesson learned buddy'.<br /><br />''It's easy to blame the fisherman, but they're just doing their jobs trying to catch food. The important thing is that the turtles have been saved.''
