Swimming with Sea Turtles

On my trip to Maui I was lucky enough to swim next to a family of Green Sea Turtles and I just wanted to share some fun facts about these amazing animals.

 

  • they can weigh up to 500lbs
  • only 1 in 5000 hatchlings survives incubation
  • can grow up to 5ft
  • their average lifespan is 80 years
  • they are regularly found resting under underwater ledges, basking on beaches, and nibbling on algae in shallow waters
  • despite their name, green sea turtles do not actually appear “green” – at least from the outside. Instead, the name “green” comes from the color of their internal fat tissue, which is green due to a diet that primarily consists of algae

     

    The best snorkel spots in Maui to swim with sea turtles are Makena, aka “Turtle Town”, Olowalu, and Honolua.

    Photoshoot Time

    This week the creative team is focusing on our next photoshoot! (I’m not sure how this year has gone by so fast and we are already planning for our fall/winter shoot!) It will take place at the end of August and we have plenty of planning ahead of us. From finding models, scouting locations, getting permits, and shopping for outfits to pair with our belts. It will be even more exciting this time around because we will get to feature our new watch collection! A lot of planning goes into these photoshoots but we always get great content and we have so much fun putting it all together.
