Deep water Atlantic Scolymia coral
Sea Turtle at 80 feet. We were at about 80 feet when this turtle approached us and swam along side us for a couple minutes. It seemed he was curious about us.
Once in a lifetime chance! A mother Humpback Whale stops by for a visit while diving off Molokai off the coast of Maui. This was more stunning than the Hammerheads we saw. These beautiful mammals make a long journey to Hawaii to raise their calves.
