I haven't been on for a bit (in case anyone noticed...) because we've opened a new SCUBA shop in Hilo. Hilo Ocean Adventures. Check out (and LIKE) our facebook page and our burgeoning website at
www.hilooceanadventures.com -- So, I've been a bit distracted.
I led the maiden dive of the Kids Ocean Adventures Dive Club (sponsored by Hilo Ocean Adventures) on Friday and was shooting at 10feet deep the first lizard fish. When, out from under me scoots the second (buried) lizard fish. I hadn't seen him at all and I suppose he didn't like the whale-sized belly hovering over him. So he scoots away about two-feet and buries himself. They do this side-to-side wiggle, more a vibration, and literally melt into the sand save their heads. Really fascinating to watch as they simply 'disappear'. Anybody remember the Terrians (I think that was their name - they lived in the earth) of the old TV show "Earth II"?

Fellow diver ...like all your shots .
Thanks for the images and the explanation! We love Hawaii, but, so far, we've only made it to Maui and Lanai. Maybe next trip will be to the big island. Best Wishes with Hilo Ocean Adventures. I can't wait to explore the other pictures you have posted. These are wonderful.
Our next trip will be to the Big Island also. I've been missing also but for a different reason. I've been watching my new grandson grow inch by inch. Him being my first is an exciting adventure. I do want to check out your website and dive club in person Kevin. Sounds like you're doing great things with the kids too. Nice shots.
