Keawakapu Deep

Found the deep reef in 110 feet today that I had been meaning to get to. There was a nice spot with bigger than normal fish populations for Maui these days. It was refreshing.

As it was an exploratory dive, I wanted to travel light since as I had two scooters; so I only took a GoPro, no lenses, no light, as a “just in case I see something amazing.” Well, I did not see anything amazing, but was pleased to find myself in the aforementioned reef-full-o-fish. Then I happened upon Treasure Chest on the way back to shore, and it was also teeming with life.

I saw an Ashy Sea Cucumber in the sand that was rolling itself oddly, perhaps as a way to move more quickly? Not sure. But more interesting is when I was looking at the footage later, I saw these two odd critters I have yet to identify scurrying out of the way of the rolling cucumber.
