When in Hawaii, going snorkeling is a must. I took a little underwater camera down with me at Kealakekua Bay, and took some amazing shots. Check out how close you can get to the fish, how clear the water is, and how beautiful the coral reef is. All of these were taken with an Olympus Tough TG-7 waterproof camera.
We ended up seeing moray eels, sharks, octopus, and too many fish to count. Check out the photos to be a part of the adventure.

A very large porcupine pufferfish giving me the side eye look.
The water was so clear and beautiful. This is always such a great place to snorkel. And it is good for beginners or advanced snorkelers.

We started our snorkel by checking out the beautiful inside reef.
A school of black triggerfish hovering over the reef.
A juvenile yellowtail coris, its often mistaken for Nemo, which we don't have here in Hawaii.
One of my favorite butterflyfish to find, a reticulated. It is the only one with a deep purple color in it.

I always like finding this big school of goatfish. I can dive down below them and feel like I'm surrounded by fish.
I had to dive down deep for this one, but that is an octopus!
Everyone was so excited to see a shark. Especially since I had just given a presentation on sharks the night before.
The bay is dominated by this large white monument. It marks the spot where Captain Cook became the first westerner to land on the Hawaiian Islands, and the spot where he eventually met his end.
