Hawaiian Sea Slugs
Most of these photos of Hawaiian slugs were taken between 1977 and 1981, then
again from 1984 through 1985. Most diving was done around the island of Oahu,
although I made several trips to Puako on the Big Island and relocated there
full time for research from late 1980 through mid 1981. Study site descriptions
on both islands are linked throughout the pages, but are mostly based on conditions
when the studies were conducted. Driving around Oahu recently, I saw that some
of those sites had physically changed.
Nearly all the photos were shot using Nikonos cameras, mostly with half, full,
and twice life size extension tubes.
For a more complete treatment of Hawaiian slugs, don't miss the Sea
Slugs of Hawaii web site.
