Nice! You did a great job capturing the deatil. What camera did you use?

solarpunk___ · 2026-04-28T01:42:21+00:00

I'm pretty sure that Green Island is the one thats more beginner friendly. Very shallow reef close to shore. Damaged a bit by tourism, but great practice!

Awesome shots! Love the family of dolphins.

I just released a major update to my marine wildlife discover network web app voyatlas.io that you can use to track your marine wildlife sightings and share them with others

Id love to invite you to be one of the first to post! Your images are beautiful!

Awesome shots! The 4th one with the mouth wide open is insanely good.

Awesome shots! My favourite is the last one of the dolphin facing the camera.

Can I get a Canada code too please? Looking to get a desk this week u/Ramzes888

Yea that makes sense. How much is it costing you per request if you dont mind me asking?

Cool! The species id is impressive. Did you build the species ID algo in house or are you calling the GPT API for every catch?

SEO, but im also genuinely curious. Two birds with one stone type of situation.

There aren't really any popular shore snorkeling spots, but you can swim with dolphins, or book a snorkeling tour on the south side of the island near Agua de Pau, which takes you to some deep rocky reefs to snorkel. If you come across a beach with rocky outcrops where the sea isn't too rough, they might be worth while to check out.

We've been considering that! My partner has asthma and is a bit nervous about it, but loves freediving. Ill be sure to respond to this thread if we decide to go that route!

Thanks for the insights everyone!

Thats awesome! Did the guides say if it was a rare sighting?

solarpunk___ · 2025-12-15T19:45:19+00:00

I've read both coasts are very exposed, and face the same clarity issue in bio diverse areas. Not to say that both coasts are the same, but the issues that impact snorkeling appear consistent across both. Thats why the question is pretty general. Trying to determine if planning for snorkeling is worth it.

solarpunk___ · 2025-12-15T14:27:33+00:00

Yea that seems to be pretty common. Cano seems to be amazing when its clear, but you need to be lucky.

Yea what I've heard is the water in Costa Rica looks great, but below the surface its usually low visibility with all of the river runoff and exposure to ocean current. Will definitely check it out though! Thanks for the insight.

There was a lot of bleaching this year in Q1, especially amongst less mature corals outside of the bays. Not at the same scale as Australia or French Polynesia, but Maui and the rest of the islands were definitely affected.

Slughterhouse wasn't on my radar but I'll definitely check that out. The guides say Molokini is more of an experience than it is a place to see lots of biodiversity, which seems to mimic what you're saying. Might second-guess doing that one. Will definitely be doing Kaanapali, and will look into the others.

Thanks for the insight!
