Default Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, 40 feet down, Crescent Bay, Kona


It is resting under a large rock. The turtle is about 4 feet long.

Taken with a single external strobe (my other one had long since died on this trip).

Soooo cool! I envy you - I wish I could go diving with my camera but alas I can't afford the housing at the moment. Great shot!

What a stunning shot. I'd love to be able to go diving one day. You must see some great things.

Very cool! Like Leona, I couldn't go underwater either, so I'll just have to admire the shots of others!
