That's A Moray Monday: The Do-As-I-Say-Not-As-I-Do Edition

Let's try a blind lead that seems very appropriate for Moray Monday.

What very vocal Hawaii dive operator who has gone on the record as being opposed to voluntary environmental marine recreation standards because (paraphrased),

We already have standards, are operating sustainably already, and have been taking care of the reef for a long time without any more rules!

has a very curious and contradictory review from a customer on an online travel advice site,

I'm not the pro diver, but my husband is having logged almost 120 dives. All the recommended dive companies were booked out, so we took what was available. Christmas Eve we set off for Lanai (another of Hawaii's islands). The diver's weren't as expert as those you'd find elsewhere and the equipment wasn't brand new; but we really wanted to dive the Cathedrals - an underwater lava/cavern formation which is lit up by sunlight.

The first dive was Sergeant Major. (Depth 61 feet/Bottom time 46 minutes). It was a bit of a calamity getting off the boat. There were a few who didn't seem to know how to dive, apparently they were just certified and didn't know how to deflate their BCs. Saw two white tipped reef sharks. The other group saw a moray eel. The photos were taken by the dive shop. This is the eel right before he bit into the hand of the dive instructor who later went to the hospital to get stitches. [Note: Above image illustrates results from a similar moray bite.] I guess he shouldn't have been playing with it.

While perhaps out of place to include on a moray post, the reviewer also posted this snap of divers harassing an octopus.

If this is taking care of Hawaiian reefs and demonstrating sustainability, I shudder to imagine what carelessness looks like.
