I (alliance) never received this quest and it's followup Shark Bait. Instead, after the turtle mount quest I immediately got the seahorse quest.

Description
Our situation is growing a bit desperate, {race}. We must focus our attention on the naga and their prisoners, but it would be folly to do so without being prepared, and down here that means finding a way to travel more quickly. These sharks are clearly fond of sea turtle. Let's see if we can turn that into our advantage.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
