Enjoy an adventure that brings you up close and personal, like never before, with the marine life that surrounds the main Hawaiian Islands!


Here is your chance to view the newly released film Hawaiian Blue-The Encounters plus a sneak preview of the soon to be released Japanese version of the Hawaii Reef Etiquette PSA (which you don't need to speak Japanese to appreciate), with special guest presenter/ filmmaker Ziggy Livnat!

Hawaiian Blue-The Encounters was produced by independent, internationally
award-winning, Big Island filmmaker Ziggy Livnat, MFA.  Mr. Livnat is a professional underwater photographer, environmentalist, and educator; published in such magazines as National Geographic. He has devoted the last twelve years of his career to the protection of marine environments and knows from experience that a fusion of art and science affects and promotes social change.  This forty-five minute feature film Hawaiian Blue-The Encounters was born of 400 dives (day and night) and over two years of filming.
