Did something pretty cool today. We took a boat out to Molokini and then to a place they call "Turtle Town." Molokini was impressive but I think I like Turtle Town better.
The boat company we used was "Pride of Maui". Top notch crew and boat. I am kicking myself though for not using my own equiptment. (We brought our own stuff) My mask kept fogging up even though I was using their stuff to keep it clear.
The turtles were amazing!
You are not supposed to touch, pursue, tease...etc.etc. the turtles. I had an accidental "close up and personal" with one of them though. I like to dive and stay down for a minute or so. Apparently while I was down, a turtle came up over the top of me and when I surfaced, I was literally face to face with it. I'm talking like rubbing shoulders close! I never touched it and just floated and let it swim away from me. Shame on me for not looking up while I was ascending!
Here is a video of another of the turtles I shot with my little hand held underwater camera. Sorry about the beginning of it.
