Maui Snorkeling

Snorkel Maui: A Snorkel FAQ Some Snorkeling Frequently Asked Questions 1) What is snorkeling? 2) What is the difference between snorkeling and scuba diving? 3) Why do people snorkel? 4) Is snorkeling safe? 5) But don't I need to be a good swimmer? 6) What equipment do you need to snorkel? 7) Hey! I have my equipment. What should I do now? 8) Can you go underwater with a snorkel? What if I want to get closer to things? 9) What conditions are good for snorkeling? 10) How do I take care of my equipment? How should I store it? 1) What is snorkeling? Snorkeling is swimming with fins, a mask, and a tube called a snorkel that allows you to have your face down in the water and still breathe. 2) What is the difference between snorkeling and scuba diving? Snorkeling doesn't require tanks and other expensive equipment like regulators. Scuba diving allows you to breathe underwater, while snorkeling allows you to breathe while you are on the surface with your face down. Snorkeling doesn't require any certification, while scuba diving requires certification. 3) Why do people snorkel? Because it's loads of fun. : ) Fair enough? 4) Is snorkeling safe? One of the wonderful things about snorkeling is that people of all ages can participate. And one of the great things about Maui and the other Hawaiian Islands is that there are many great places for beginners to try out. 5) But don't I need to be a good swimmer? Well it sure can't hurt, but it's not required. It is recommended that you do have some comfort and experience when you are in water though. A few things to consider is that your fins help you a great deal in terms of movement, and they float. : ) As well, the mask that you wear will have air trapped in it will helps you float as well. If you don't feel safe enough, you can also rent floatation devices, as well as boogie boards that you can lay on top of. Many of the snorkeling spots on Maui on right off shore and are in water less than 5 feet deep. It just depends which sites that you go to, and your comfort level with water and your equipment. 6) What equipment do you need to snorkel? Well, there are 3 main things that most snorkelers use. A) Mask This is what you put on ummmm your face. This allows you to see underwater without getting your eyes and nose wet. It's important that the mask is a good fit when renting or buying a mask. If the mask doesn't fit well, you will experience some leakage of water in the mask. I would highly recommend using a mask that has a "silicon skirt". The skirt is the soft substance that is molded to fit your face, and prevents water from entering the mask. You can also rent or buy masks that use rubber ask the skirt, but the seal is not nearly as good as the silicon, and is quite simply a dated technology. Ask your local snorkel or dive shop about choosing a mask that fits well. They will know what to look for. B) Snorkel Well, this is what makes you a snorkeler. A snorkel is a hollow curved tube that is placed in the mouth that allows you to breathe while you are face down in the water. So basically, while you looking down into the water, the snorkel is sticking out of the water on one end while the other end is in your mouth. When looking for a snorkel, I would recommend asking for what is called a "purge" snorkel. C) Fins This is what makes life a lot of fun. Fins allow you to swim like a fish. Yeeeha! There are 2 kinds of fins, but for snorkeling in warm water, most people will do just fine with the close heeled kind. The open heeled kind is more for Scuba Divers which requires a special boot (bootie), or for colder waters. Any ways, make sure that the fins are a good fit, or else you will either be cutting off circulation to your feet, or they will easily come off. Make sure that they are a snug fit, but you should be able to wiggle your toes. 7) Hey! I have my equipment. What should I do now? Well, it's a good idea to get comfortable with your equipment before you go out to the reef. Try out the equipment at your Hotel pool. The first step is getting used to the mask. One thing about masks is that they have a tendency to fog up. You can either apply anti-fog goop (available at all snorkel shops) to the inside of the mask, or you can use your own spit. It sounds gross, but spit works quite well for preventing the fogging up of your mask. Make sure that the spit/anti-fog goop is spread across the full surface of the glass on the inside of the mask. Now wash it out in the water. This should prevent, or at least greatly reduce any fogging up of the mask. When putting on the mask, make sure there are no hairs stuck it between the silicon part of the mask. Hair will break the seal that keeps the water from entering the mask. Also keep the strap in the middle of the back of your head, and don't have the strap too tight. Now, put on your mask and look under water while you're standing up. You're looking underwater. No fish yet, but soon...... Soon. ; ) Next, attach the snorkel to your mask strap with the clip that's on the snorkel. Put the snorkel in your mouth and breathe. Don't try to breathe with your nose or else the mask will quickly fog up. Breathe through your mouth in relaxed, normal breaths. Now try breathing with your face in the water. Nothing to it, right? Take as long as you want to get used to breathing underwater. That's the biggest mental hurdle for first time snorkelers. Are you comfortable yet? If so, put on your flippers and give it a try. With your face down and body stretched out, start kicking with your fins. Remember to keep your legs straight while you lightly kick. You don't have to thrash around to swim well. Stay relaxed, and swim around the pool, getting used to breathing, kicking, and looking around. 8) Can you go underwater with a snorkel? What if I want to get closer to things? Although many snorkelers dive underwater, I have found that some people would rather not, or don't find the need to do so. If you see a fish several feet below you though, and you want to get a closer look, you'll have to dive down. By doing this, your snorkel will fill up with water, and you will not be able to breathe until you clear the passage of your snorkel of water once you have resurfaced. It sounds a bit iffy, but it's a common thing for more experienced snorkelers to dive down and fill their snorkel with water. To clear the snorkel of water, you must resurface, give a good strong blow of the snorkel as your head reaches the surface once again, and the top of the snorkel has penetrated the surface of the water. This should clear most if not all of the water that has filled the snorkel, and allow you to breathe normally through the snorkel once again. If you use what is called a "purge" snorkel, (which I would recommend), you will rarely get water back in your mouth. I would also recommend trying this technique first in a pool. Once you get comfortable doing this as well as the other techniques mentioned, you will feel more confident, and will have a more positive relaxed experience out on the reef. 9) What conditions are good for snorkeling? The best times to go are when the waves are minimal, and it's sunny outside. Not only do large waves make things more challenging to get around and potentially dangerous, but a disturbance such as big waves also make the water murky, greatly decreasing visibility. There are just some times when I've had to cancel a snorkeling trip because the waves were to high. A good rule of thumb is if there are surfers in the area, it's probably a bad day or place to go snorkeling. Bays often offer more protection from a surge (big waves). The ideal snorkeling conditions are waves at 0-1 feet. Listen to the radio for a marine forecast, which should mention these kind of conditions. It's also best to go snorkeling when the sun is out. Sunlight increases visibility, and brings out the true colors of fish and coral. It brings out the 'wow' factor for fish and overall experience. But the sun also brings out the 'sun burn' factor. If you're not wearing some sort of wet suit, shorty, or other coverings, make sure that you've got your back, neck, shoulders, butt, and thighs covered in sun block. To make things a bit easier, I would often just wear an old junky shirt. 10) How do I take care of my equipment? How should I store it? Protect your equipment from light, heat and fumes. Sunlight is known to damage the silicon parts of the mask, making the seal brittle. Heat also degrades the mask, as well as snorkel. After you finish snorkeling, make sure your equipment gets washed off with fresh water. Salt water that dries will start wearing away at your equipment. Many beaches will have a place to do this. If not on the beach, make sure you wash the equipment off back in your hotel room that day. It's also a good idea to wash your mask lens with soap or toothpaste every once in a while. This washes away any grease that causes your mask to fog up. Just make sure that you've washed it out good so there is no residue. Don't pile heavy objects on top of any of your equipment. Prolonged weight on top of a mask, snorkel, or fins can warp them. To avoid bent fins, they should lie flat, and not on their tips. Keep walking in your fins on land to a minimum.

Lanai Island of Lanai

Lanai Island CRAMP is developing and applying standard scientific techniques that will enable us to compare the results of many different coral reef studies. This site will look much better in a browser that supports web standards , but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device. please scroll down to view the web page home overview results study sites bibliography search Manele-Hulopoe Shipwreck Home > Study Sites > Lanai Island of Lanai CRAMP is not monitoring any sites on Lanai at thepresent time. Two sites, however, have been monitored previously. Hulopoe-Manele has been monitored by Dr. Richard Brock and by the State of Hawaii, Division ofAquatic Resources (HDAR) for a number of years. A second site at ShipwreckBeach has been monitored by HDAR. These studies could form abasis for future work on Lanai. View a photo of Lanai and Molokai from space. Geographic Name: Lanai CRAMP site code: La Geographic Location: (20° 50'N, 157° 57'W) Lanai is located west of Maui and approximately 15 km south of Molokai. Physical Features (Physiography): Lanai is the sixth largest of the eightmain Hawaiian Islands with an area of 36,520 ha. Lanai Island is the emergentportion of a single volcano. The highest point is Lanaihale Peak at 1020 m (3370ft). Island slopes on the easterly side are steep and cutby gulches. Western slopes are gentler. The south central portion of the islandbetween elevations of 300 m and 600 m is a flat plain known as the PalawaiBasin, which was the major pineapple-growing region of the island untilrecently. Reef Structure, Habitat Classification: Reef development is best alongthe north and north-east coasts because these areas fall into the "waveshadow" of Molokai and Maui and are partially protected from the winternorth swell. Sandy beaches occur along the he north and northwest coastline.Coral reefs are less developed on the south and west sides of the island due toexposure to the summer south swell. Steep cliffs occur along the west and southcoasts. These are eroding volcanic coastlines due to extreme wave erosion andpresence of deep water offshore. Physical Oceanography: North shores partially protected by Molokai andMaui from winter storm surf. South shores receive full impact of summer southswell. Storm surf from Hurricane Iniki damaged reef communities along the southcoast in September 1992. Recovery of the damaged areas took nearly 5 years. Adjacent Land Tenure, Land Use: Most of the land on Lanai (98%) is ownedby the Castle and Cooke Inc., a privately held company headed by David Murdock.David Murdock has announced plans to build new roads, sidewalks and apartmenthouses on the island ("Massive Investment Planed for Lanai" by FrankCho, Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 19, 2000, p. A1). Approximately one-fifth of the island was formerly undercultivation for pineapple, but economics led to abandonment of pineapple growingand a shift to development of resorts and diversified agriculture. Human Use Patterns: Commercial tours originating on Maui conduct snorkel,SCUBA and fishing excursions to Lanai. Increased resort development is leadingto more frequent use by visitors and residents on Lanai. Private boats fromvarious islands frequent Manele Harbor and visit various sites along the Lanaicoastline. Sustenance fishing and gathering of seaweed and opihi (limpets) is acommon activity by local residents. Economic Value and Social Benefits: The recent phasing out of pineappleand shift toward resort development places increased economic value on the reefsas resource for tourist development. Some of the best diving in Hawaiian watersis found off Lanai, which is a regular destination for many diving and fishingcharters coming from Maui. Large beds of the black corals Antipathesdichotoma and Antipathes grandis occur at depths of 40 m to 110 m offthe north coast. Status (Degree of Legal Protection): Open access for most of thecoastline. The submerged lands and overlying waters of Hulopoe Bay and ManeleBay are regulated as a Marine Life Conservation District. Manele Boat Harbor hasbeen designated as a Marine Fisheries Management Area. Management Concerns: The major focus is on human use, especially inthose areas with good reef development. Concern over exploitation of the richreef areas of Hulopoe and Manele Bays led to declaration of Hulopoe Bay andManele Bay as Marine Life Conservation Districts (MLCDs) in 1976. With thedemise of pineapple growing and the shift to resort and residential development, there isincreasing focus on effects of increasing human contact with the reefs andincreasing resort development. The rich reefs of Lanai are increasingly beingvisited by excursion boats from Maui.
