Our first dive was at a site called Garden Eel Cove, just off the . As its name suggests, eels are known to populate the area. I saw one big one, about four feet long. Dona, Tim and Jody saw three others. I was suprised to see so many sea urchins down there. The coral was more rocky and the colors more subdued than what we saw in Bonaire. Of course we know nothing can compare to Bonaire, but nevertheless it serves as a point of comparison for us.
Dive two was at a site called Turtle Pinnacle, near the marina. Though the sea turtles have moved away from this site since it was so named, there are two pinnacles under there that are spectacular. Plenty of fish life there too. We even saw a scorpion fish, though we were careful not to touch it because it does deserve its name.
Back to the marina, and the good people of Big Island Divers live up to their reputation again. They told us to leave our wetsuits, BCDs and regulators on the boat, and they'll rinse them and have them ready for our next dive. Talk about great service!
Back to our house to get ready to go to the luau. It was at the Sheraton, right across Keauhou Bay from our house, so it only took a few minutes to get there. Wow, what a spectacular show:
Your intrepid travelers at the luau:
The highlight was the fire dance. Amazing: 
Then it was back to the house for a good night's sleep.
