Turtles. Because they’re awesome.
Last year on Maui, we were diving Lahaina Pier, and there was this little turtle, maybe a foot across, that was kind of swooping in and around and playing tag with us. And then the guide pointed out something, and we got interested in that, and the turtle got more and more frantic as it circled around, because we’d stopped paying attention to it. Just like a little kid.
Older turtles are more sedate, but I always get the impression that we bore them a lot faster than they bore us.
