Snorkeling Poipu

Snorkeling at Poipu..........





 Looking back at the Waiohai.

There was a Monk Seal sleeping in the rocks- they're protected. A loose dog made the seal go  from the sand back  into the water. Then with so many people around, it decided to go into the rocks to sleep. They hunt all night and sleep most of the day. Normally, a life guard sets up protective tape around the seal (20- 30 feet) so it won't be bothered by people.
You can see where a tracking device was glued on it's skin/ fur.
