Hawaiian green sea turtles are true giants.  At over 5 feet in length and up to a quarter ton, these big guys continually amaze and amuse our lucky divers with their size and demeanor. I smile frequently underwater while one of my divers stretches his arms as wide as he can after seeing his first huge turtle with an amazed and happy look on his face!  Today we dropped in at Baby Barge which plays host to a nice variety of marine life including a free swimming shark, several turtles, big eels, and loads of reef fish.  2nd jump was a drift of staff favorite Fantasy Reef which is truly the home of the hawaiin green sea turtle, as we saw at least one over 5 feet long, and who knows how many pounds!  We also saw more sharks, more eels, lots of reef fish, and the beautiful volcanic topography of that dive site.  Thanks to all for safe diving!  Larry, Kelsea, and Joe
