Kona, Big Island, Hawaii
On a nice relaxing couple of weeks in Maui and the Big Island, we only got to go scuba diving once. But we had clear intentions when we went diving: Manta Rays. Near the Kona airport and at the Sheraton (where we were staying) Manta Rays converge after dark in order to eat plankton in the bright lights of the scuba divers (at the airport) or of the hotel. We went on a cool little two tanks dive with some folks...an afternoon dive along a lively reef and a shallow dive with a gorgeous Manta Ray.
I have seen flounder float across sandy bottoms, land, and blend in with their natural color. But this flounder actually swam about 7 feet above the bottom, in full view before he landed on a rock. Then, as quick as an octopus, he changed colors to camouflage himself with the coral.
