Maui Ocean Center

[Mark Shelly]

Maui Ocean Center, Hawaii is located at a dock for boats for whale watching, snorkeling and SCUBA diving. It has its own charms, especially a large number of wrasses, most of which were too fast for me to capture.

It also has plenty of fish, some of which are very hard to spot.

Others fish are much easier to see.

And they have corals.

And no tank is complete without a few hitchhikers.

It was my thirtieth anniversary for me. So I guess that would make it Been Maui'd

We'll be on Maui in 11 days. We'll be going back to the MOC for the 4th or 5th time. Great place.

I wasn't expecting it to be so nice. If you get any good pictures feel free to post them here. Also, I would love to see pictures from the Waikiki Aquarium if that is in your neighborhood.

Mark, actually, we live in Texas but we try to get to Maui as often as we can. It's a nice aquarium with a very helpful staff. We were there in 2013 and saw a coral that we couldn't identify. When we got home I emailed MOC to see if they could identify it. I received an email from the head curator with an answer. I was shocked. If we ever move to Maui that would be my dream job working as a volunteer.
