Exploring Kaua'i - Days Six and Eight

Snorkeling near Poipu, lunch at Poipu City Beach and a quick excursion to Kamala Point
for the group's last day and a second visit on my own two days later.

Some snorkeling near Poipu, but not very interesting pictures... We did see some sea turtles and some got to swim with them.

Need to get some more serious underwater camera gear... I'm starting to free dive too far with my current camera bag (10m max)-- water's getting in!

Back two days later after the group trip ended for more snorkeling... and this time I had sea turtles swimming around -- after I put away my camera, of course.

The "Spouting Horn" blowhole... apparently the really big one was destroyed many years ago when the neighboring sugar cane plantation owner was annoyed by the spray killing nearby crops. (Erg, humans.)
