Shark warning signs up again at Kaimana Beach this morning as a trio of sharks was seen feeding on a school of fish just offshore. Here, an on-shore fisherman looks on as several sandbar sharks feed on schools of bait fish a few dozen yards from shore on Friday.

Shark warning signs have once again been posted at Kaimana Beach in Waikiki after a trio of sharks were sighted this morning for the second day in a row.

Ocean Safety officials in a late-morning alert said three, 4- to 5-foot, white tip sharks have been observed feeding on a school of fish 20 to 30 yards from shore at Kaimana Beach.

On Tuesday, officials also issued an alert when three 4- to 5-foot sharks were also seen feeding on a school of fish about 20 to 30 yards from shore at Kaimana. Whether or not these are the same sharks remains unknown.

Shark warning signs have been posted off and on at Kaimana Beach, often for consecutive days, since the middle of September.
