Love this site. It has possibly the best coral on the island. Plains of pillar coral. There was a massive mu pile of around 40 Mu! We visit it on our Premium Advanced 2 Tank Dive. www.konahonudivers.com/kona-diving-morning-advanced-2-tank-dive.htm
Hawaii = mostly dead coral. it's hard to look at. at least the mounding coral seems to have been spared. i wish I could have seen it 25 years ago after i got my NAUI card but it never occurred to me to go see Hawaii.
@@Konahonudivers I know what the coral is supposed to look like. Look: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DtI4K2QNKOw.html In your videos, I see death. Especially the cauliflower corals. brown lifeless husks. but it's not just Hawaii. Look at the bleaching and death in this recent video from Tahiti: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KBA8MAxZVBo.html the way I see it, by now very few places haven't been thrashed. the resilient places include American Samoa and of course Palmyra atoll. Hopefully Hawaii DAR management plans eg. 30 - 30 can develop enough resilience in the local ecosystem to survive all the warm water that is coming. I love Hawaii good luck trying to convince people to ignore it. better to just educate them to what is happening, either way it won't really affect your business
