A real favorite of divers and snorkelers, Maui sea turtles can bring many emotions to photography. From majestic to humorous and from awe to ahhhh. This ever expanding collection is a personal quest to always find another. Except where otherwise noted, all of the turtles in this gallery are Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, known in Hawaii as Honu. All images were shot in the wild with special care taken not to disturb the natural habits or habitats of the animals.
