Honu is the Hawaiian word for Green Sea Turtle. Here at Island Divers Hawaii we love to show off the huge and friendly sea turtles we have living at many of our dive sites. Today we went to Baby Barge for our first dive and it did not fail us on our Honu Patrol! The current was very strong, but seeing the turtles was worth the extra swimming we had to do. Baby barge is an imploded wreck which is home to lots of sea life, including eels, octopus, and white tip sharks. We went to Koko craters for our second dive and the current was much milder. We cruised around and swam by more turtles, big eels, and a peacock flounder hiding on the sand. Our divers did a great job navigating the Hawaiian currents today. Thanks to all for safe diving, Larry!
