The Old Dudes of the Hawaiian Waters
✈ Hanauma Bay, O’ahu, Hawaii
October 2009
So, this was my second trip to Hawaii. Having spent a month here a few years ago, I had a good feeling of what was in store for me. I went to Hanauma Bay that time as well, and loved it. So naturally, it was time for a re-visit to that ancient volcanic crater, that’s been dormant for ages, and gradually has undergone a metamorphosis into the picture perfect, colorful fish-inhabited coral reef it is today.
Wise from my last trip here, I came armed with my own, fully functional snorkel and goggles. The ones they rent out tend to be either the cheapo versions, or the worn out type. With my own gear and a pair of rented fins, I was ready to give chase to the scores of colorful fish I saw last time. And this time I’d brought my digital underwater camera!
