Snorkeling

Ever since we bought snorkeling vests, I have loved exploring what's under the water!  The vest keeps me afloat so that all I have to do is just relax and enjoy the secret beauty of the underwater world.
The walk from the parking lot to our first snorkeling spot took us through an area with old Hawaiian fish ponds. Don't know how to describe this area except to say that it looks like a perfect postcard of old Hawaii!

The soft sand was very inviting.  Lovely place for relaxing and lunch.
The sand made it easy to just walk into the water as opposed to the other rocky beach where we snorkeled another day.  Getting into the water at that beach by climbing over the slippery rocks took some skill and nerve! 
Once we got in the water, we were mesmerized by what we saw underwater!

He is getting to be quite the underwater photographer!
Yellow Trumpet Fish
Black Triggerfish
Schools of fish.  I especially enjoy just swimming above them watching their interactions. 
In some places the color and shape of the coral is captivating.
There are many of these Yellow Tang.
This guy is called an Orange Band Surgeon Fish.
This interesting looking guy is a Raccoon Butterflyfish
1 Moorish idol and 2 Convict Tang

I am so happy that we have discovered this new hobby.  I can hardly wait to go again.
