Photo by @andywcoleman // I spent a great morning in one of my favorite snorkeling spots on Maui. This is a deeper area of reef where I have always had good luck spotting sea turtles. There were five turtles in a small area, resting on the sea floor and periodically coming to the surface for air. They seem to have slow and methodical movements, but are very quick in the water so it is important to give them plenty of space so as not to disturb them.
