Kauai Snorkeling :: Snorkel in Kauai on Na Pali Coast!
Oh the things we see when we’re out there on a Kauai snorkeling tour.
Puffer fish, one of the world’s most deadly… In Japan, this fish is referred to as fugu. Sushi chefs who are licensed to prepare the exotic fugu sushi must be extremely careful, cause it can cause instantaneous death to the eater. That’s right, don’t be fooled by this cute little guy. Actually, this puffer fish is half eaten in the photo, by a nearby monk seal who already ate its little butterfly fins and even its delicious eyes. I hope that monk seal doesn’t experience the infamous “fugu fate.”
