Crocodile needlefish are big enough that I sometimes mistake them for barracudas when I first see them. Like many of the different needlefish I see, they have a tendency to swim in circles around me when I encounter them.
On this day, I came on a largish shoal of crocodile needlefish milling about on the edge of a shallow area of the reef. The water was relatively clear and the sun illuminated them in such a way that their blue and silver sides shone quite beautifully.

Gorgeous! We didn’t get to snorkel this trip. I would have liked to see some underwater habitats.

The Kona side is best for snorkeling, but it’s not been very good this last week or so because the swell has been up, so you probably didn’t miss much.
