Wow, I feel lucky to have seen a humpback whale (off Lanai Lookout Oahu),
a hammerhead (moku manu), mantas, stingrays, flying gurnards, spinner dolphins, tiger shark, harlequin shrimp, baby cuttlefish, seahorse (!) all North Shore Oahu,
and gray reef sharks, galapagos shark, dragon moray, and monk seal off Kauai.
My wish list still includes whale sharks, an oceanic whitetip, a great white and one can never see too many whales or dolphins.

I'll give up on my whale shark for a dive with Jessica Alba though

So what's the difference between an oceanic white tip and a reef white tip?

From Sharks and Rays of Hawaii
Reef Whitetip: Triaenodon obesus 5.6 Costal found in Indian and Pacific Oceans, throughout Hawaiian islands. Danger Minimal active nocturnal and in day, will steal speared fish. Gray, slightly flat headed with small white tips on the tops of the first and second dorsal and tail fins.
Oceanic: Carcharhinus longimanus 11.5 - Wide ranging pelagic in all oceans, hangs out mostly around the Big Island. Danger moderate, can be aggressive, will approach and bump divers. Gray with long white-tipped pectoral fins and a large white-tipped dorsal fin.

Play it with the sinister music first - then turn the volume down and watch it to the tune of "valse des fleurs" or something other relaxing number.
What a difference.

That's really funny Mark - I watched it with slack key guitar music in the background and it was very soothing... lol

we had a long and close encounter with a way-too-nosy Oceanic Whitetip off Kona. Did not know what we were in the water with until we were shopping later and saw a poster rankng the most dengerous sharks...yikes.

Got to agree with you on that one! Can I just move 1 thru 5 down and have Jessica as my 1 thur 5? Maybe if I got to the carribean she will be there diving too... I think that will take more then Santa.
