What's a Blue'aina?

Blue'aina literally means 'blue land or earth.' Besides the SCUBA and SNUBA diving offered at Trilogy Excursions, we also giveth back to the community and the land. We plan reef and beach clean-ups monthly which is coined the Trilogy Blue'aina Campaign. If you are a resident here or a visitor and would like to help this cause, contact Cynthia Matzke, our Director of Blue'aina. 


Gail Richard's did a little write up for our last (March 2011) clean up along with posting some photos of our efforts. Click on this link for more information.  

SNUBA Instructor Kyle & Class

Kyle, our fearless SNUBA Instructor & fellow PADI Divemaster

Kyle's SNUBA class, a range of ages.

Want more information on Kyle? He will be featured in our Instructors on the month, next month.














This is Kyle's happy SNUBA class. The sun is bright, the water calm, and they just saw humpback whales breaching for 10 minutes. They are getting ready to listen to these whales underwater while snuba-ing. Come join us for SNUBA while the whales are still here! Call us at 808-661-4743 or book  a trip online at www.sailtrilogy.com

The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle

Aloha, we are the threatened Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, Chelonia mydas, living at Turtle Town. Our flesh is green hence the name green sea turtle. We used to be killed for our skins, calipee, meat, and shells but they cannot hunt for us in Hawaii anymore. We are protected. We like to graze on algae though we like the occasional jellyfish and octopus. If we are not eating, we are napping or resting. Otherwise, we are cruising for food and gulping air. We especially like to cruise the swim throughs at Turtle Town. The lava tube gives us protection and a place to wedge ourselves in. And it's not too far to the surface. The more active we are, the more we need to get to the surface for air. If we are resting, we can slow our metabolism down for hours. At Turtle Town, we see many pasty white legs in the mornings. They all seem to stare at us or have clicking devices. It's kind of entertaining for us. This is why I like it best at Turtle Town in Maui. Come visit when you get a chance!
