You 2 are so likable! I love that you spend a lot of time on safety and the importance of reef safe sunscreen. I don’t wear sunscreen because I wear swim pants and a long sleeve rash guard. It’s so much easier and less expensive! I live on Hawaii Island and Kahalu’u is spectacular for snorkeling when the conditions are right. Thanks again for your video. I’ve seen similar and you have nailed it on a lot of levels. Keep up the good work. I will share it with a friend who needs prescription mask.

We planned our first ever trip last year and your videos made our trip so much better. And made us fall in love with this piece of heaven on earth so much so that we are headed back again this year. Meeting Erica by chance at the food truck park in Safeway parking lot was one of the highlights!!! I got pictures that I need to send you guys. Would love to meet all of you during our next trip. Mahalo!!!

Replied to your other comment, but putting here for information. We have never had an issue with jellyfish. We've seen a man of war on the beach in Kauai and that's it. Honolulu Civil Beat published findings from new research on Box Jellyfish around Waikiki, it answered a lot of questions for me: www.civilbeat.org/2022/05/why-do-box-jellyfish-show-up-off-oahu-beaches-like-clockwork/ In summary, we don't worry about them nor have we seen them when snorkeling.
