Tell that to the fish.. I spent enough time chasing them, believe me.

Yeah, that's where those photos were (another good spot is mile marker 15
on Maui) -- I can see that full scuba kit might be nice, but there's enough
_really_ shallow (1 foot or less) bits of reef that unless you were very
careful to find the correct route you'd want to be as low-profile as
possible.
