Kapoho Tidal Pools

Convict Tang in the coral gardens
The Kapoho Tidal Pools on the Puna Coast of Hawaii have the best snorkelling I have ever experienced. The waters are shallow and crystal clear, the corals are huge and colourful and the tropical fish are plentiful and approachable.
Moorish Idols
 Because the waters are shallow I'd recommend wearing an extra "skin" or Lycra body suit. I didn't and paid the price with a few scratches on my arms and legs.

Unicorn Fish
Be sure to take along an underwater camera that shoots video. These images are stills that I made from the HD video I shot.
