The Islands of Hawaii are the Sea Turtles’ Kingdom 24 feb

well we did see lots of turtles today, but each head had its own body!  But we saw so many today!  and they are so funny!  some of them are kind of like cute,  near-sighted old men, peeking over at you as you swim by, and then going back to napping.  i can say this because i am a near-sighted old man.  i think near-sighted is right, i always mix it up with far-sighted?  i any case, i can’t read without glasses, which ever one that is.  First dive at Baby barge had an usually large number of the old boys floating around today and our Florida divers remarked that they had thought Florida was the kingdom of the turtle, but after today they are naming hawaii the new turtle kingdom. and that was after the first dive!  just to really blow their minds, we took them to Fantasy Reef, home of the Whopper Turtles!  they could barely speak after seeing our monster turtles (even with only one head each!).  lots of other cool stuff today -sharks, big eels, octopus, lobster, slipper lobster, tons of fish!  thanks to all for safe diving,  larry, capt sheila
