A few days ago we were diving off the volcano coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Puna district, which encompasses most of this area is spectacular with jet black lava rock under verdant green palm trees. The sapphire swells crash against the coastline sending up towering cascades of snow white spray. In the distance, great billows of steam rise where lava as the volcano spills lava into the ocean. This is where the earth is formed and the views and the diving are like nothing else. In towing past Madame Pele, I was reminded of some footage we shot a year or so ago on a different trip to the Big Island. While shot at a different time, it nicely represents some of what we saw the other day. We hope you enjoy.
