Some Underwater-ness...


Ok so one of my favorite things to do is snorkel.  The last time I went with my sister it was really foggy, which is really just silt and sediment floating all over the place.  Despite the difficulty of seeing, I was still able to capture these few gems...

Enjoy :)


So Notice a few things.  
1. There are lots of sounds, I make none of them.  
(You'll just have to guess what they are)
2. I'm going down about 10 feet before I go back to the surface.
3. Make sure my purge valve is functioning properly.


This is part of the reef.  Keep in mind, this is nothing special.  We can access this by walking out into the water.


This long skinny guy is a trumpet fish.  They are all over the place.  I like seein these little guys.

These two little guys kept swimming right away from me.  But look at the colors!  OH THE COLORS!

This has got to be the biggest puffer fish I've seen....EVER!  I've seen a total of like 3...
I was trying to piss him off so he'd puff up at me, but he just swam away.

I was getting a bit bored so I decided to do some self portraiture.  Whadaya think?  The salt burned my eyes a bit, but not any worse than chlorine when i was on the Water Polo team.  (On the team doesn't mean I play right Bret?)

I found my favorite puffer fish again.  About 10 minutes after my first encounter i was swimming along and all of a sudden there he was again.  Still he didn't puff up.  Lame-wadd.

Hawaii In General

Ok, so i'm a firm believer that no one really wants to read a ton of random thoughts that should be kept to myself, so I will use this mostly for picturing.  Deal with it when i do feel like ranting or just randomizing events as they happen or unfold around me. -Douglas
