Five of the worlds seven Sea Turtle species are found in the Gulf of Mexico. These are the Leatherback, Hawksbill, Deep-Green, Loggerhead, and Kemp's Ridley. Each of these five sea turtles are either threatened of endangered, and could be extinct unless we take steps to save them.
One day a man was at the beach and found a Loggerhead seaturtle above the ocean floating on the water and usally if you see one it will go right back in the ocean but this one did not so they knew that it was sick some how so they brought it to a seaturtle hospital to see what was wrong.

When our divers arrive at the shop, or en route to the harbor or dive site, one question is asked more than most: will we see turtles?
Green Sea Turtles are protected by law and now are thriving here in our Hawaiian waters. Every side of our island has a dive site named after these creatures: Turtle Canyons, Turtle Reef, Turtle Carwash, Turtles… Along with the monstrous waves here on the North Shore in the winter, Turtles lounging on the beach are the most common cause of traffic jams up here. It is easy to love these amazing creatures and it is easy to help them as well.
