very kewl pictures dood .
that angel ?? is awesome looking and the tang is just huge

 

[MarineTeng]

the angel is actually a butterflyfish, i believe an ornate butterfly, i love those as u can see i took several pictures of them and those tangs were huge probably a foot long or so, i didn't see as many yellow tangs as i thought i would, i only saw them at black rock becah, hanalu'a didn't have any as far as i saw

Excellent Pictures! The turtles are protected and even touching them is considered molestation and prohibited. I was fortunate enough to be part of a turtle tagging project conducted in Punalu'u on the Big Island in 1992. This was under the auspices of George Balaz, the foremost authority on the green turtle and the federal director for National Marine Fisheries in Hawaii.
We wrestled twenty-seven turtles ashore (a record for George) rodeo style! The smallest was a little twenty-four pound baby and the largest was a two-hundred and twenty-five pounds male coaught ten-years previously by Geroge in the French frigate Shaols sixteen-hundred miles to the Northwest.

u should have gone to malikia or something like taht for scuba. i went there for snorkle i loved it. also i stayed in keihe at maui hill resort quest. and u should have gone surfing with maui wave riders loved them i went in sping 2007 with make a wish.

 

[MarineTeng]

i don't have a scuba lincense so i had to do an introductory dive, so my options were limited i did go body surfing a lot

 

[blind1993]

i am too young to have a licence anyways.

 

[MarineTeng]

there's an age requirement for scuba?

 

[Herefishyfishy]

there's an age requirement for scuba?

There are more than one age requirements for certification of different levels.
Decades back, one had to be 16 or older just to get a tank filled.

 

[blind1993]

yea in hawaii it still is 16 or older and plus since i went with make a wish they said u guys can not since the fact that they will be liable for any damages.

 

[MarineTeng]

hmm well at least i fit the age part
