Maui Marine Life
|
In addition to the eels and sea turtles I've already blogged about, I thought I'd share some of the reef critters we encountered while snorkeling in Maui. Now keep in mind, I'm no fish expert, so I had to rely on hand-drawn book diagrams and bad pics to id some of these guys. Sorry the pictures are so grainy, but they were taken with a bunch of crappy underwater disposable cameras I bought on ebay for $20 because the film in them had recently expired. Not to mention, in case you didn't know, it's bloody difficult to take sharp photos underwater while snorkeling without a decent photo rig. | |
