The Wonder Under the Sea at Molokini Crater

I'd like to think that the airport x-ray machines damaged my film because it was ISO 800 and we forgot to ask for the hand inspection, but I think the reality is that the camera was just crappy. No zoom, no preview - we were stuck with whatever came out. And then LATER, I read on the back that the underwater pictures are supposed to be taken within a range of one meter. Good thing Walgreens screwed up my order and I got them developed for free!

So, the color you see here is very dull compared to what we saw... see, I told you that you just had to be there! Try to use your imaginations, okay?

Cool long, skinny fish... fish sticks?

It was like swimming in an aquarium.

I tried to capture the breath-taking drop off into the abyss... imagine harder, people!

Lots and lots of black fish... and one yellow one doing his own thing.

This was taken at a shallower depth, so you can see a LITTLE more color. I love the orange ones, don't you?

My legs can't be THAT white, right? Dang those x-ray machines... they totally washed me out... totally...

Hi Russ!

Lookin' cool...

Now go see it for yourselves, people! It'll be like watching Dorothy step out into the colorful land of Oz.
