2/3/2017 Makaiwa Bay, Big Island
We spent our first day checking out the beaches for snorkeling the next day. It has been at least 10 years since Debbie and Larry have snorkeled. Larry had been researching and testing snorkeling equipment for the last few weeks so they were well equipped.
The next day was our first snorkeling adventure. After about a 15 minute hike through lava fields, they arrived at Makaiwa Bay (Mauna Lani) As stated, Larry and Debbie were well equipped but not confident especially in a bay where one could swim out to sea. (Who are we kidding? They couldn’t swim that far more like floating out to sea. This is a bay for kids so how dangerous is it really? Although Joyce did admit it was the roughest that she had seen since arriving in January.)
Once Debbie made an ungraceful entrance into the surf (somewhat like a dog chasing its tail finally falling face down into the water). Here’s a tip: Don’t sit down to put on flippers because it is hard to get up and turn around. Debbie did leave Larry sitting in the sand until he finally clawed his way out.
Joyce and Jerry had already proceeded far out and were trying to tempt Debbie and Larry further out with sightings of fish. They were successful with Debbie but Larry turned his back on them and snorkeled back toward shore when the water got too deep. Debbie continued to be lured further out with Larry turning back to keep Debbie between him and the open sea. (Not sure that Debbie could drag Larry back if she tried).
Debbie was excited because she started to see fish. However, the group is not particularly sophisticated in their snorkeling report. Here is a sample snorkeling report:
Debbie: “Well, I saw one of those yellow fishes and then I saw more of them. Plus, I saw one that was yellow but different”.
Larry: “Yes, I saw that one too with the long nose and I saw the rainbow fish”. (There is no such thing as a rainbow fish).
Joyce: “I saw schools of the yellow fish”.
Jerry: “I saw a bunch of different yellow fish”.
Debbie: “I saw a bunch of black fish”.
Larry: “I saw the Hmmmahhmm whatever fish ….. (National fish of Hawaii and is the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa fish)
Others: “Yes, we did too, it is the rainbow fish (It is not). “
Debbie broke down and bought a Hawaiian Reef Fish guide. Here is what we really saw:
- Yellow Tang Surgeonfish
- Reef Triggerfish (Humuhumu nukunuku apuaa)
- Moorish Idol
- Picasso Triggerfish
- Parrotfish
- Some kind of black fish
