Rare Fish Dive at White Rock

 I try to spend as much time in the water as I can. So when the weather and conditions look good for a scuba dive (and they almost always look good here in Maui) I jump at the opportunity. This dive at white rock was filled with turtles and rare fish.
 The bright blue and orange fish at the top is a Potter's Angelfish. Angelfish are hard to spot here in Hawaii because they dive deep into the reef when they see a diver nearby. The beautiful fish in the picture on the right is the second Hawaiian Red Lionfish that I have seen, both in the last few weeks.

And to round out a great rare fish dive I came across this neon yellow fellow to the left, a Commerson's Frogfish. This frogfish still has its juvenile coloration. You would think bright yellow would not work as a camouflage but when you are surrounded by bright yellow sponges and corals you could swim right past him.
I thought this snowflake eel was too cute not to post. He was giving his best snake impression.
