Took a group of college-aged girls out on a turtle-finding expedition around Koko Craters in celebration of one girl’s 21st birthday. The turtles didn’t disappoint, as over half a dozen of the beautiful Hawaiian reptiles glided past us towards the wrasse cleaning stations. Several other turtles were sighted snuggled under the crater rim.

They loved the turtles so much that we decided to do a second drop on Koko Craters, this time heading for the far crater. Once again, the turtles hung out with us in the gentle current. We also spotted an orange frogfish and a few small eels in the crevices.
