Honu, Resting








This sea turtle was tucked away only a dozen feet away from the "Two Step" entry for diving Kealakekua Bay, seemingly not bothered by the dozens of clumsy humans passing by for deeper waters and for the "turtle grounds".  I clicked these shots as I swam slowly by and kept on swimming, not wanting to be the one to bother this creature and not wanting to call too much attention to the resting turtle.

I did point one swimmer/nonswimmer toward the turtle; that person was not happy with the wetness of the water, and I thought seeing such a glorious creature in its own environment would help in some way.  That person looked, looked twice, and then swam away as well.
