Nick, a native Lana’i surfer, told us that the fish in many of the scuba spots are afraid of people because the areas are open to spear fishing. “The fish are smart.”
Here, in the Hulopo’e Bay, a protected marine preserve, schools of fish let you snorkel along with them, and most days the largest pod of spinner dolphins in Hawaii comes to rest in these same waters. I am still trying to learn the pattern of their arrival time. Nick gave some hints on how to approach these curious and social creatures so that they will play with you. (it’s a paralimbic lobe thing)
Also, this time of year, there are as many humpback whales in the waters as people on the island. Their spouts seem to go to the clouds.
