Our Hawaiian Pacific Green Sea turtles are not in the least bit dangerous or afraid of divers! They get HUGE! Up to 400 lbs!

    Back in the 70's you were lucky to see a turtle (Honu) once in every 50 dives! They'd been hunted almost to extinction and were desperately endangered!  Everyone of a hundred or so of the mail-slot-box condo by Mala Wharf, on the Lahaina side of Maui, had a large polished turtle shell on it's lanai! (porch)
      After being granted Federal and state protection in 1972 they began to make their come back and boy have they come back!
padi certified refresher turtles at a turtle cleaning stationThey're all over the place! We're not allowed to ride, touch or harass them but they have no fear of divers, seem to be curious and will often come over to check us out!   

 

   One of the coolest things to watch on a dive is a turtle cleaning station. turtle cleaning station at Ulua beach in Makena on Maui It's just like a car wash.

A turtle will glide in and land or hover. As the Honu stays perfectly still, scores of different kinds and colors of fish will come in and clean it's scales and shell of debris and parasites. After a few minutes the picked-clean turtle takes off and another immediately glides in and parks in exactly the same spot!. They're usually (not always!) quite civilized about waiting their turn.

   Sometimes as many as a  dozen turtles will hang out awaiting their turn!
