Hawaii

Hawaii – no photos

I traveled to Maui in about 1983 so I have no photos as that is to long ago.  The trip was for business and went on a day’s diving adventure.  It was really fun as we saw really cool  animal life and traveled through tubes of lava.  We went on 2 dives.  One was at a military live fire site as I found many spent casings. We dove through solidified tunnels of lava or lava tubes and went into caves where sharks came flying out.  We had lights and the colors inside the lava tunnels were amazing with bright red and orange plant or animal life.  The other dive was closer to shore on a reef nestled in the protected bays at the base of the West Maui Mountains.  There was a ton of beautiful colorful hard coral that provides nooks and crannies for a spectacular array of marine life. The coral gently slopes from the mountain cliffs and teams with schools of fish. Parrotfish, angelfish, triggerfish, and butterfly fish abound. I saw Turtles, octopus and yellow and brown spotted moray eels it was very very cool.  We had a great time and I would highly recommend this dive.  I did not make this video below and I did not see whales or porpoise but this is a very nice video about Maui diving.  I also went to the top of the Volcano and rode bikes down it now this is what I am talking about
