The cliffs of INSANITY


We spent today off the south coast of the island of Lanai. The winds have dropped for a few days giving us a welcome rest-bit from the otherwise constant pounding and the scenery has been amazing. Lanai has some of the most spectacular sea cliffs in the archipelago, which we were diving under for most of the day. The water was calm and clear which, for the most part, made up for the cold One would never think diving in Hawaii could be cold, but 78 degrees for an hour is far from warm. All-in-all it was another wonderful day. Jason's acceptance of the apricot challenge was the icing on the cake...

So I gather the the cliffs continue under water? How far down say does the cliff in this photo go?

The cliffs are pretty amazing. Typically they extend for another 50 - 100 feet underwater before turning into either a boulder strewn or sandy plain.
