I am an avid snorkeling grandpa. My passion is saving the ocean environments for generations to come. I love taking GoPro videos and sharing them on social media and giving suggestions on snorkeling best practices.
Lots of ignorant tourists ruin it for everyone else. I hate when some selfish girl sprays toxic sunscreen on herself to go right into the water seconds after, and then denies she did it. Imagine what lots of stupid people doing this day after day would do to the sealife. People don't realize that that defeats the purpose - it comes right off into the water.

This isn’t “bad behavior,” it’s just people who are either pretty bad swimmers or who mistake a coral reef for a heavily barnacled rock. Get over yourself.

Kanaka here. I can’t express to you enough how pissed this makes us locals/Hawaiians. I tell people every single time I go to the beach to stop standing on the coral. Besides the fact that coral can slice through you like a warm knife through butter, you’re standing on living organisms and nearly destroying them if not entirely. You are visitors to the aina and her waters. Respect them or don’t come. It’s simple.

The rock in the bay is dark lava rock. Everything you see here is white coral base. There is no “rock” in the video. It is dead coral and if not walked on new coral could use this as a base to start growing this reef back to a normal reef.
