Introducing Pomaika'i, a male Hawaiian green sea turtle we've known since 1996. "Pomaika'i" is Hawaiian meaning "lucky"
Pomaika'i is triply so. The U-shaped cut in his shell shows a narrow escape from a shark during some time in his life.
He is also a survivor of the tumor disease called Fibropapilloma.
Third-time lucky? He lives at Honokowai, West Maui. As you know, "Maui no ka oi"!
Black Rock is an excellent place to see honu and several other neat sea critters.

Really nice! I went snorkeling at Black Rock in August 2007 and was lucky enough to swim with a sea turtle. He (or she--I didn't flip it over to check--lol) was such a graceful creature. "Maui no ka oi" is right!
