You get into Honaunau bay at "Two-Step", two ledges
stepping off into maybe 7 feet deep. The most graceful entry and
exit I can imagine. (Aug 1998)
Here I am apparently pretty deep. Pretty good considering I can't
swim! As my snorkeling instructor put it "the hard part
about swimming is keeping your head above water". I love
being underwater, moving freely in 3D. (Jan 1999)
Here's my friend lynn diving down to explore the beautiful
scenery. (Jan 1999)
Most of the fish pictures weren't very good (like this one) but
'cause it's my favorite fish I had to include it. (Jan 1999)
Here's a sea turtle
surfacing from deep water and going back down. It's shell is
maybe 4 feet across. The first time I saw a sea turtle it was
coming up from very deep water straight at me. I had to move to
get out of its way! (Aug 1998)
Here's another sea
turtle meandering around in shallower water. It didn't seem to
mind my tagging around at all! (Aug 1998)
