You guessed it, I am not a certified diver… yet. So the Maui Ocean Center is the best I could do. Still, it is a huge challenge to take something that is photographed by 1000′s of people a day and make it your own. Its a tougher challenge than you might think. Maybe my next trip back, I will be certified and I won’t be cheating like this!

Want to win a 20×30″ canvas print of one of these? See here: http://z.pe/hvd

Mahalo!

I have never seen so many stars in the sky as I do in Hawaii. I only hope this photo conveys a fraction of the beauty.
