Have you heard of the forbidden island of Hawaii called Niihau? With just around 100 residents & being allowed on the island by invitation only, it remains a pristine environment for native species. Diving there with @fathomfivedivers was an absolutely breathtaking & awe inspiring experience! We were able to see monk seals, sandbar sharks, spotted eagle ray, octopus, turtle, manta ray, lots of nudibranchs, & many endemic species of fish I normally dont see much of on the other Hawaiian reefs.
