This is a nice picture of Hanauma Bay. Look closer and you will see hundreds of tourists in the water and on the beach. When I was a kid, you could go down there and swim, snorkel or SCUBA dive whenever you liked, free of charge. Now, visitors have to stand in line for upwards of two hours and attend a "reef preservation" presentation before walking down to a beach that is overcrowded, noisy and frankly nowhere near as nice as it once was. Oh, and they charge admission too.
