    I am lucky enough to be snorkeling in Maui this week! So far the experience has been awesome, first day out I saw an amazing array of fish including two large cuttlefish -- very cool. The trigger fish here are amazing, I can not believe how thick they are in the wild! Normally when I see them in fish stores they are so thin compared to how they look in the wild.

    Going to try and aquire an underwater camera, If I manage to get one and get a few good shots I'll post them here ;D

    Have a good time. You should be in the water instead of on the forum.

    I got to go snorkeling off the north shore when I was in high school. I loved every minute of it. By far the worst sunburn I have ever had.

    I only wish that I knew what I know now. It was all alien to me. I got to swim with the sea turtles, and saw a octopus, but that is all that I could recognize then.

    Have fun and get some good pics.
