Heh...where all the tiger sharks hang out..? I've snorkeled this bay and the area "beyond the rocks" is not for the faint of heart....

All the tourists who were denied use of the park & bay that day thank your privileged, lazy a**, Mr President.Yet I wonder how many of them will march into the voting booth and push his lever again, like good little drones.

Obama released a terrorist rather than send him to Gitmo
Ali Musa Daqduq who killed 5 American soldiers was released.
Whats a couple of turtle’s compared to that.

I want to know if he rented the public use flippers and mask or if he brought his own?

Even the baby white tips are enough to give cause for pause.
Great place to snorkel though. Used to be a caldera which had collapsed to the ocean and now a protected bay.
Only problem is the wastewater treatment plant just north of Sandy Beach dumping effluent into the ocean sometimes gets washed back in for some higher turbidity.

Park closed or not the Obama’s don’t care. They pulled that trick up in Yellowstone a couple of years ago, where the Park Rangers closed major attractions at the park so the Obamas could drive up unimpeded when they got around to it. Many tourists planned their Yellowstone vacations well in advance and many drove all the way to see the sights just to be told, “Sorry folks, Yellowstone is closed for the day.”

I was just there last month. I enjoyed snorkeling Hanuama Bay more than most of my Scuba diving trips in the cold waters off of the Azores Islands, where I was stationed. I swam with a pair of sea turtles for about an hour and ended up “beyond the rocks”. The worst part was trying to get back when the surf was really pounding me into the rocks, and I knew if my head hit, I was done for. I just reconciled myself to getting chewed up on the rocks as I crawled over while the waves smashed me every few seconds. Fortunately I managed to do it with only a few scrapes and bruises. Swimming with the huge sea turtles there is quite an experience. Amazing creatures.

I snorkeled there back in 1996. It was a wonderful experience, but I too got slammed into the coral formations and left with bruises, scratches and wonderful memories. Did not get to see and sea turtles though. :-(

They gotta go when the bay is closed so that the First Beard doesn’t risk sustaining any harpoon wounds.

According to the local news, the hairy Wookie did not accompany the POS but stayed home. No reason as to why was given.
