Re: Maui shore dive, all the turtles!

I am here on Maui right now, doing shore snorkeling while the wife does her conference stuff. Have seen a few turtles, a fair number of fish, ate some sand thanks to a couple of larger than expected waves... This is quite an island.

Any Maui residents on the forum?

Just wondering if anyone is an island resident... Going to be visiting in a couple of weeks and would be happy to have a snorkeling, kayaking, etc buddy. I’m not taking dive gear, just going to snorkel.

Beautiful shots, love that dogfish! Those are the most common thing I seem to catch, no matter if I’m chasing salmon or flounders... They never look quite so calm as this guy, for some reason!
