Wednesday on the Reef

Trumpetfish in general don't hang out with Yellow Tang, but this yellow Trumpetfish wouldn't let them out of its sight.

These two White Tip Reef Sharks were lazing in the current.

And this Spotted Eagle Ray was on a mission.

 

Mermaids

I decided to swim closer to home this morning and ran into a couple of mermaids out in the briny. What a treat.

 

Many Pods

Maui's Pink Cap swimmers were all back at the usual Sunday location yesterday morning. To keep group size down they started out in two separate packs, and then fractured into smaller pods from there.

Some of the pods saw Manta Ray, Eagle Rays and Shark; but I only saw swimmers, fishies and turtles.

 

Let Sleeping Sharks Lie

I found this spectacular specimen of a Triton's Trumpet on my Wednesday morning ocean swim. I never take anything (except photos) from the ocean, but I sure was tempted.

I also chose to let sleeping sharks lie, and swam with lots of Green Sea Turtles.

 

Something New

The Maui Pink Cap swimmers decided to mix things up and headed all the way over to the West Side for our weekly Sunday ocean swim. We saw lots of critters, including some which were new to us. I'm glad we ventured out of our normal comfort zone.

Especially Summer

I thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful morning ocean swim today.

The water was clear, warm and flat with lots of fishies and turtles.

I love getting into the ocean here, but especially in summer.

 

Deep into the Slot

Maui's Pink Cap swimmers decided to try a different location for yesterday's ocean swim. 

Carl visited us for the first time in eons and he, Ben and Kimi even ventured deep into the Slot.
