We did a dive yesterday at Anini Reef and this infectious coral disease has spread all over the reef. One year ago there were 2 infections in our 100 meter transect. Four weeks ago there was 80 infections and now almost every coral is infected! This is over 500 beautiful rice corals! The disease is Read More …

Sharks At Tunnels Reef

Video: Invasive Species
In 1956 the government let go several fish species in Hawaii that were native to Tahiti. They were the peacock grouper (roi), blue striped snapper (ta’ape) and black tailed snapper (to’ao).
