ALOHA Reef Sanctuary. Had a great time working and playing in Oahu and Maui Hawaii. Weather was moist, humid but not cold. My counterpart over there gave me a handmade lei. (Thanks Cheryl)
Took tons of pics so I'm just posting the links to my photobucket albums here.
If nothing else check out the Hanauma Bay photos. My Boss' son had an underwater digital camera. I need to get one of those. I took some of the underwater pics, but not all.

Had a day to go to Hanauma bay on Oahu and do some snorkeling. Tons of fish, but not very much coral at all, just liverock. HUGE parrot fish. One looked 2 feet long. It's nice to see how big some fish get in the wild.

Then went to Maui for a few days and had the opportunity to go to the Maui Ocean Center. Great coral displays and amazing collection of rock fish. And some of the fattest yellow tangs I've ever seen. The video on the plane said that the yellow tangs are becoming very hard to find in the wild. Mostly because of the aquarium export trade. So if you have one, take care of it.

Also had a day to go whale watching. If you haven't had the chance I highly recommend it. Safari tours at Lahaina was a great group of tour guides. We got very upclose and personal. Some swam right under the boat. Mom's, babies, bachelor whales. Great time.

And also captured some great general photos of scenery and stuff.
