Which is better, the tortoise or the turtle?
How and why? Please discuss.

I am partial to turtles after all the times I've snorkeled with them while living in Hawaii. The first time you see one up close in the water is quite magical. My uncle told me when he was a little kid many decades ago, he'd grab and hold on to their shell and they would propel him through the water like an underwater jetpack.

From a traveler's perspective, a turtle is more relatable because they travel thousands of miles across the ocean to migrate. Whereas, tortoises are more like homebums....generally staying in one small area for their life, if I'm not mistaken. So therefore, sea turtles are way cooler IMO.
Oahu, north shore mostlyWhat part of hawaii were you snorkeling with our fine aquatic friends?
A lot of them at Pua'ena point where I liked to surf. And there'd ALWAYS be some at the nude beach in Mokuleia. god how i loved snorkeling in the nude with sea turtles, what a blast. of course, you can find them most places. seemed like there were more on the north shore thoTurtle bay?
