A few snorkeling pics from Hawaii (pic intensive)

[talon4x4]

Took all these pics with my Olympus Stylus Tough camera (waterproof up to 33ft). I think the pics came out quite well once I found the correct setting.

This guy was quite large and didn't like me approaching his area

Feeding frenzy. Not sure what they found but it must have been good!

A real life cleaning station!! If you look closely at the top right tail fin you will see the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse. There were 3 Yellow Tangs waiting to be cleaned. Wish I could have gotten them in the pics.

Crown of Thorns starfish (thank god the only one we saw)

Moorish Idol (such a beautiful fish)

Map puffer I believe

A bit closer

Some coral

Urchin the size of a large melon

Some more coral

Glad everyone is enjoying!!

These pics were all taken on the Kona side of the Big Island. Specifically, at the Captain Cook monument or Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau Bay.
