Maui Trip

Our 2011 trip to Maui with a ton of fish photos and references (sorry non-fish enthusiasts). In backwards chronological order.

Mala Warf 
In the early 90's a pier collapsed and created a great dive. There was a large variety of sea life including lizardfish and sharks.

Whitetip reef shark cruising the concrete and steel wreckage. Near the end of the video it looks like he eats something. Also, this poor guy had a hook in its mouth.  

Concrete pilings from the pier. 

Goatfish

Lizardfish

This fish was first spotted in Hawaii in the 1990's, now they are quite abundant. It's an Indo-Pacific Sergent Major. 

 Nudibranch 

Make an Eel do all the work.
Today while diving, Shelley and I stumbled upon an Pacific Trumpetfish following a Whitemouth Moray Eel. The trumpetfish was hoping the eel would chase out a fish right into his mouth. It was funny watching the trumpetfish look disappointingly at the eel each time it would emerge from a hole without a fish.
