I decided to mix it up a bit this morning and swam in the Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve.
Because the land part of the reserve is closed, I began my swim a hundred yards away where there are almost no fish at all. Once I entered the reserve waters, I was surrounded by tropical fish. It is amazing what a difference it makes to prohibit fishing in an area.
I also love how unafraid of people these fish are. What a joy.

If only the whole island was a reserve.
