And rest
A Whitetip Reef Shark resting under a ledge off the black sand beach at Mauna Lani.
When I saw this scene, I thought the dark shape in front of the shark was a diver taking photos. It wasn’t until I got home, and examined the photo closely, that I realized it was just a rock!

An itty-bitty Whitemouth Moray Eel
This is the smallest Whitemouth Moray Eel I’ve seen here. It was in a hole in the rock high up in the water so I could get quite close. I’ve taken a lot of eel photos over the years and I thought, even as I took these photos, it would be ironic if this little eel shot out and was the first one to bite me. Happily, it remained where it was, next to a Red Pencil Urchin, which gives a sense of scale.
