Diving off Lanai at Lighthouse and Shark's Fin Rock
(A)

What these are:
- (A)
-
Me waving to the underwater camera.
- (B)
-
Me and a white tip shark. White tips are reef sharks that mostly come out
at night and tend to sleep in caves (with currents) during the day.
This one came out due to the efforts of our dive guide.
- (C)
-
A school of Penant Fish, one of the many tropical found at this dive
site. These fish are commonly mistaken for Moorish Idol's which have
very similar coloration. However, there body shape is somewhat
different, especially towards the snout.
- (D)
- A Porcupine Starfish that one of
the dive guides found. This one was at about 50ft, so when I saw it,
it was blue-green and looked like a 1ft wide urchin. If you look
carefully, you can see the feet.
