Maui no ka oi. Sea creatures.

     In the past when we visited Maui, we would stay at one of the big hotels at touristy resort areas like Wailea and Kaanapali.
   
    This time, to be close to M, who lives in Kahului now, we chose The Maui Beach Hotel, and did we ever have a great time.

The Maui Beach in Kahului

We had a nice view

The hallway to the rooms was wide and had skylights, making it nice and airy.
Also there was a security door to the hallway leading to the rooms.



We were entertained by so many creatures at the Maui
Ocean Center

Invisible ones

Funny ones with staring
eyes

The scariest one.
Wasn't expecting her!
It was cleaning time at the
Aquarium.

Slithery ones with
bulging eyes eating lunch.

In the underwater tunnel.

This could be a scene from an adventure/horror movie.
Three of the divers were guests who had signed up for this
chance.
You need a diver's license, of course, but anyone can participate.
The lead diver  fed the Rays.  But the three guests were taking
photos and having fun.

Underwater flying saucer!

Here comes another.

And, of course, the sharks.
