Today I registered for my conference and then hopped the bus to Hanauma Bay to go snorkling. The bay was is formed by a caldera that filled with seawater some 30,000 years ago as the oceans rose higher. The beach on which you sit is surrounded by the upper edge of the volcanic cone. The bay has lots of indigenous fish and best of all sea turtles.
There is something serene about floating in a tropical sea while watching a sea turtle nibble away at the plants growing from a coral reef. Meanwhile, a variety of fish are darting within a few feet of you, blissfully unperturbed by the human intruder. I do have to credit the photo though. I received via email it from the beautiful Kathleen who kindly agreed to share it with me. She was clever enough to bring along one of those disposable underwater cameras.
