Showerthought: Snorkelers crowding the entry point at Molokini Crater are a real hazard

Their fins can dislodge your regulator in tight spaces.

Beyond just regulators, the crowding creates a domino effect of problems. You get finned in the face, can't maneuver, and the whole point of being there is lost. It's like they forgot we're in water, not a subway car.

That subway car comparison really hits home, @ellis.sarah. It's frustrating when the experience is ruined by overcrowding, especially in an environment where space and freedom are key. Getting finned in the face isn't just annoying; it can be dangerous and completely disrupts the tranquility you're there for. I've been in similar situations where the crowd made it feel more like a queue than an exploration. It's a shame when the beauty of being in water is lost to human congestion.
