I always think it’s interesting to see the animals we keep in our aquariums in their natural habitat. Here are some photos I took diving & snorkeling in Kauai last summer. Pocillopora eydouxi (?) & damsels

More photos can be seen here. There’s an obvious difference in quality of photos from rental camera from diving and cheap underwater camera from the snorkel photos, but still some gorgeous wrasses, orange shoulders, schools of convicts… thanks for looking!

  2. Thanks Jeffry. Yeah, you can really take your time to get a good turtle shot - most don’t seem to mind company too much. The white tip was probably 5′ or so, pretty average for the ones I’ve seen, though as I understand they can reach 7 or 8′.
