for real giggles hook up with lahaina divers. go check out the cathedral off of lanai. unda-wata lava tubes. wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cooooooool. lots of turtles which means lots of tiger sharks! wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy cooooooler.
for even more giggles after belting a few mai-tais down and making a few for the walk. go north of kanapali resort. above new construction of hotel. walk thru field to beach. sit on sand and watch the water. soon you will see lil turtle heads popping up along reef. then you will see lil shark fins and big shark fins feeding on the turtles. lots of thrashing about action when mr tiger gets his teeth sunk into mr turtle. wayy cool nature at its finest showing pecking order. this occurs at dawn and at dusk. THE TWO WORST TIMES TO BE SWIMMING/SNORKLING/SURFING off maui coast.
just south of lahaina, with in eyesight of marina,signs posted everywhere, DO NOT SWIM HERE SHARKS! not 2 days after we were there, this some dumb-a$$ white guy decides to go for a drunken swim...........well hes still alive but missing a few chunks of skin! manos be everywhere.
trust me.............im a diver!
also if you fish................fish only blue water. ie. from a boat. entire reef around island infected with cigadarra(sp) disease in reef fish. organism in plants that fish eat then get infected and then pass onto humans. not good at all.
how do i know all of this???? my buddy lives just east of old lahaina town.
stay tuned for TALES FROM BARBADOS, just got back in.................coming soon to pelican OT with pics as soon as i get them back. yep new digital camera trashed by TSA. TSA HATES DIVERS! 3rd time go around with these clowns lugging scuba gear and cameras(plural) thru security. real nasty letter forthcoming to TSA in next day or so from me. loooooooooooong story and had to revert back to nikonos V with sb-105 strobe old school camera technology.
in a nutshell.............in 33 years of diving..............barbados was the coolest reef and wreck diving i have EVER DONE IN MY LIFE!
slam a few mai-tais for me................im on the wagon after drinking the mt. gay rum distillary dry as well as the banks beer brewery dry!
