Today, for the first time this trip, we encountered schools of sharpnose mullet (uouoa) in very shallow water, just below the surface of the bay. It was hard to swim close to them, without endangering ourselves on the rocks and coral below. They were about 10 inches long.

Also just below the surface, we saw small groups of acute halfbeaks (iheihe). We often see a few of this species, but photographing them is tricky, with ambient light and focus issues. They are interesting to watch as they cruise at the top of the water column. They were also about 10 inches long.
