The Snorkeling Hawaiian

Aloha! I’m Grant and I’m excited to introduce you to one of my greatest passions… Hawaii’s ocean. Being born and raised here in Hawaii, I have been blessed to swim, fish, and dive these waters all my life. I thought that as you plan your Hawaii vacation, you’d like the real scoop about snorkeling in Hawaii from someone who lives and breathes it.

You see, to a Hawaiian, the ocean is more than just recreation. The ocean touches everything in our life. It’s our sustenance, our security, our life blood. Our relationship with the ocean defines and connects us. Take my own family for instance… In their younger days, as with most Hawaiians, my father and grandfather loved to skin dive and spearfish. In fact, they had such a passion for it, not only did they dive here at home in Hawaii, but also many of the islands in the South Pacific. I always love looking at their old black and white photographs of their adventures. Growing up in my family, it’s no wonder I have developed such a deep attachment to the ocean. Some of my friends even joke that I’m a fish… I try not to take offense. *grin* My goal with this website is to empower you with accurate Hawaii snorkeling knowledge so you can make intelligent travel plans and experience the beauty of Hawaii’s ocean as I have. With few exceptions, all the pictures on this website were taken by me. I’m, by far, not a professional photographer, just someone who enjoys the ocean and wants to share it. I hope my love for Hawaii’s ocean shows in these pages and my experiences are useful in planning your trip to the islands. Much Aloha,     Grant
