Honu at Wailea Bay, Maui

finally – a Turtle shot on my last day on Maui – again, like the dolphins, this was done freediving and snorkeling rather than scuba diving, which I find a bit strange, but there you go…

… are many surprises, including the church and the lawn in Kipahulu that holds Charles Lindbergh’s grave!

Reef triggerfish (Humuhumunukunukuapua'a)

This is actually a “leftover” from the diving trip the day before, but besides the turtle I wanted to share this elusive fish, who didn’t want me to get any closer, with you: Its Latin name is Rhinecanthus rectangulus and besides Humuhumunukunukuapua‘a, that you all know by now, it goes by the name Reef triggerfish.
