I was once told that diving in the Philippines would ruin diving in Hawaii. Well, I wholeheartedly disagree! Last night’s dive at Black Rock off Ka’anapali was absolutely spectacular. We, Donna and I, saw several species I had not seen/photographed before, and there was just life everywhere. Plus we got visited repeatedly by a teenage Hawaiian Monk Seal. Enjoy!
