Because the sea turtle has shell that is hard to bite through, there are few predators for the adult sea turtle, such as: sharks, crocodiles, octopi (octopuses), and even humans. The baby sea turtles have far more predators: seagulls, cranes, snakes, crabs, artificail lighting, sea walls, and also sometimes humans. Us humans are the WORST predator to sea turtles!

There are several species of sea turtles (marine turtles). Some are omnivorous and will eat a variety of plant and animal life. Green turtles are omnivorous, but become exclusively herbivorous with age. Leatherback turtles feed almost exclusively on jellyfish. Hawksbill turtles diet is 70-95% of sponges. Bearing in mind the slowness of a swimming turtle compared with the swimming speed of a penguin, I doubt that sea turtles even get the chance to actually eat a penguin.
