I came across a group of swimmers trying their hand at diving off a famed local spot on Ka'anapali Beach called Black Rock or Puu Kekaa (pronounced poo-ou kay-ka-ah). One of the resorts does a daily evening dive from this spot to recreate a Hawaiian ritual. Hawaiian legend states that the spirits of warriors left the earth to meet their ancestors by leaping from this rock. By the way a couple of these guys were diving they were probably lucky they didn't meet their ancestors!
too cool!
ReplyDeleteInteresting folklore story about Black Rock. I can think of easier ways to meet my ancestors than belly-busting off a tall rock!lol
ReplyDeleteLast time I was there, there were a long line of people waiting to jump off this rock. Personally, I think this a best spot for snorkeling in Lahaina, but you need to watch out for those jumpers. It got to be hurt for the guy on the right.
ReplyDeleteGreat timing on these shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat action shots!
ReplyDeleteEver notice that most of the good divers are bald and the tops of their heads are red and bruised... LOL
I'm not brave enough to do that!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend Ron. ;-)
haha great action shots. This looks like a blast. Wow that water is so blue! )
ReplyDeleteExciting leaps off the rocks! Nice capture.
