Derail's dive South Maui and Lanai

[MauiScubaSteve]

OK, as per my current pre Global Warming glacial pace Maui Time procrastination procedure, here are some many days ago promised pictures.

First dive, deep Enenui, inside Molokini, to scare a Flame Wrasse colony....

one of Ed Robinson's groups at typical Enenui depth, above the wary Flame Wrasse

Wrasse moving around me back to their preferred location

back "home" a too quick full display that I "missed" - that is the Derail's, way over there

another miss, looking up from 100'

the 90-95' cleaning outcrop

the lobster below the rock below the cleaning outcrop

another try at lobster art

really thought this would come out better

Well, I really should have finished more pics before starting this, next dive/post may be a little while, but this dive seemed to be generating significant discussion....

Allrighty then; after some additional delays due to internet database problems for Scubaboard, which likely will continue, here is dive two of day one - Wailea Point.

I have worked at both the Wailea Marriott and the Grand Wailea, so I have many, many dives here, and have seen more than a dozen South Maui charters drop anchor here, but this was my first time diving Wailea Point by boat.

I've been doing some processing on my own in Lightroom. T A D A !

BIG MAHALO to Halemano for providing me with the raw DNG files. Yes, I paid (and quite happy about it) Halemano as a guide & photographer. Worth every penny!
