Saturday Snorkeling Maui

Aloha from beautiful Maui Hawaii!

Saturday Nov 13 2010

We were up early in the morning and wandered around on the beach and found a little grotto that we could snuggle up in and take a picture. The ocean was awesome, about 70 degrees water temp, and very inviting. It wasn't long before Ginger was putting on her snorkel gear and running to the water. Wow the colors and fish were amazing, we spent about 4 hours in the water just swimming around looking at fish, coral, and the occasional turtle.

This was the first turtle that I saw, it slowly cruised toward me and was getting bigger and bigger, it passed within about 4 or 5 feet of me, it's head was huge, thank goodness it was a vegetarian.

This is the same turtle passing by me, not interested at all in me.

The under water camera that we have took some amazing pictures, the pictures had a blue tint to them so I loaded the software that came with it for editing and it does an amazing job, this is exactly what the reef and angel fish looked like.

Yes these are our photos, they are not store bought.

Another shot of the coral and some four spot butterfly fish.

All I can say is Wow.
