Eight people died in a recent rash of ocean-related incidents on Maui — mostly involving tourists snorkeling.
The deaths occurred over a two-week period beginning Jan. 14, said Maui Fire Department spokesman Edward Taomoto.
There wasn’t a clear link in the spike in deaths, but Taomoto said several incidents involved older folks at beaches without lifeguards.
