Today I made my way to Hanauma Bay here in Hawaii. It was an epic quest to say the least, since I had to take a bus. Cynthia was at work, so I was to fend for myself for the morning and most of the afternoon. I could have taken a taxi, but I didn’t want to feel like a tourist, so public bus it was.
I mean, how hard could it be?
Um…
Hm…
Eventually, I figured out how to catch the bus, and off I went to the bay.
I took a whole bunch of photos like these underwater with my waterproof camera, which I bought specifically for this trip. Seriously, I don’t want to sound like a commericial or anything, but I highly recommend the Olympus Stylus series. I picked up last year’s model via eBay, and my God, the photos, both above and below the water, have been wonderful.
I’ve always wanted to go snorkeling and adventure underwater, even since I was a little kid. I was obsessed with Jules Verne novels and undersea specials on Nova. I stayed in the water for two hours, which was the amount of time it took for my lungs to start hurting and my camera’s battery to die.
It’s raining in Hawaii right now, so I’m trapped inside for the time being. Time to work on some more pictures. I’ve been uploading them to my Flickr. Take a look!

I’ve been there too. Amazing.
You have to take the catamaran off of Waikiki Beach…the No’hoku. Amazing view and ride. I know the captain…Crash is a nice guy.
North Shore, man…. we need to see pics.
