NWHI-day 11 Transit Photos

Today we are transiting to Pearl and Hermes Atoll all day so got a good rest and recovering from the past days of diving. This will give me time to catch up and let my legs recover from all the swimming. We got to see all kinds of species and even a few lobsters. I can't believe how tame these fish are here.
One of our fellow diver and UH student Keo Lopes was hanging out with us the other day observing our filming so I was able to snap a few shots of him enjoying the scenery.
You can feel their curiosity of a stranger in their neighborhood and often sense the reverse rolls of being the prey instead of the predator. These Ulua will swim up to you, and like Mike Tyson in the ring they will stare you down, circle you, and dance around you till you are out of air and need to ascend to the surface.
