Finally, we went snorkeling. We went early to avoid crowds. The current wasn't too strong, so we could cover a lot of territory. Didn't see the diversity or the number of fish as previously, but it was nice to re-connect with some lovely, colorful fellow swimmers.
I even found several cleaning stations. Most often, convict surgeonfish (manini) were soliciting cleaning from Hawaiian cleaner wrasse (yellow head with magenta tail end).

I also spotted a longnose butterflyfish (lau wiliwili nukunuku 'oi'oi), often my photographic nemesis.
The orangespine unicornfish (umaumalei) is always nice to encounter.
