A green sea turtle, also known as 'honu' by local Hawaiians, swims under thousands of triathletes preparing to start the swim leg during the 2016 IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
π· @donaldmiralle: "A turtle or 'honu' as the local Hawaiians call it, are symbols of luck, and I was immediately excited that I may get a lucky photograph that morning. Over the years, I've seen fish and a bunch of triathletes down there but never a turtle!
After descending about 25-30 feet to the bottom, I waited patiently for the start canon to sound. A couple minutes before the start you can feel the anxiety and energy in the water, as the swimmers start to pile up and push forward arm to arm while the course managers are holding them back at the starting line with surfboards and paddle boards. It was about this time I saw something in the corner of my frame swimming into the scene, it was a green honu! She swam right between me and the swimmers a couple feet in front of my underwater housing. She flapped her font fins appearing to float effortlessly across the scene, and then disappeared into the deep as quickly as she appeared. Luckily, I had my camera up and ready, and knew right after the shutter went off, I had captured a special moment." - Donald Miralle on markacarruthers.com
