If he's hitting that sharp edge of the tile you could split some hose to cover the edge with a drop or three of silicone. Or the top flat side make a step out of some cork , maybe remove the ceramic tile all the way and just use real cork. Or just put cork on top of the tile. Then if you use cork , it has better grip you can remove that extra ramp on back side , he's big enough to pull himself up . The tile is to slippery to do that now , no grip , and things like that would be safer.
For Piggley it's all cork and very high for a turtle. He is not skittish at all and doesn't run when someone comes into the room fast. He does have his diving time and I had to move in the tank the large driftwood so he would not hit it on the way into the water. He now has a clear path all the way down. Now he show off his technique better. He's working on the turtle roll now !
You could make area bigger and close off that rear to control where he enters the water to the right by the main ramp. If water are get darker under that area you always put an LED strip light on the outside of glass in back for accent lighting , you could do that anyway for looks.
