Matt,
Honestly it was just okay. When you go down that deep the color spectrum changes and you don't really see any of the colors except for the bright fish...yellow tangs.
I have some pics I'll post them.

Maui is awesome!!, but if I can give you some advice.....stay away from the Royal LaHaina Resort. The virtual tours they have on the web are nothing like the actual rooms, and they simply don't care if you are dissappointed. Our first room was an ocean view room that faced another building so we couldn't see the ocean at all. On top of that we had a balcony, but the balcony door wouldn't open. I had to fight with them in order to have our room switched. It is a very old resort and the rooms reflect that. You would think they would do almost anything to keep their guests happy, but this was not the case at all and my requests were not unreasonable.
They tried to tell me they have nothing to do with the virtual tours online and those websites have nothing to do with the hotel. They told me they have no control over how the hotel is represented. I couldn't help, but laugh at that.
