I met a Moorish Idol in Hanauma Bay in Oahu Hawaii! It was amazing to see it in its natural habitat. It made me swear to never get one for an aquarium.

The winning experience goes to the Turtle! I swam with a WILD sea Turtle! This one was about 3-4 feet long. My friend and I were driving down the road and saw some people snorkling in a small reef. So we parked the car and got our stuff out. About 5 minutes in I see this turtle and swam out to it (not the best idea but, you aren't thinking if you see a sea turtle. You just go to it) and swam with it for a minute or two! I even touched it!

I wish I had some pictures but alas I don't. I have seen some beautiful stuff snorkling in Hanamu Bay in Hawaii and I got to swim with a sea turtle near sandy beach in Hawaii. If I ever get to go again I will make sure I bring a underwater camera...

OK people. This thread has changed. You don't need pics to post. Just stories. If you have pics... GREAT!

I had a camera with me...one of those Kodak disposable underwater jobies. Well they are rated to 50 feet, I was at 86, the damb thing would not take the picture. After that, I went out and bought my underwater camera, depth rated to 150feet. Never again will that happen to me.

Well my sea turtle encounter happened like I said right near Sandy Beach in Hawaii.. (I believe that was the name) It was in a little cove like area where you basically had to climb down a steep cliff to get to a tiny beach. I think there were two sea turtle but one came all the way up to the rocky shoreline and poked its head out. It was maybe a foot away. The turtle even stayed around when I was swimming... So that is my story and I am sticking to it.. Thinking about this makes me wish I back there...

I was around the same place as you when I swam with my Turtle.
