There is a local who is swimming with lava to get unbelievable close up lava-hitting-ocean photographs. These are a couple of his comments (slideshow at the link):

Chasing lava
Photographers Nick Selway and CJ Kale spend their days in hot water – sometimes, nearly boiling – just to capture dramatic images of molten lava oozing into the ocean off Hawaii.

They tread water that’s 110 degrees. Just 20 feet away, the water is boiling, Kale says. “We have a lot of fun, but it’s extremely dangerous,” he says. They have not escaped without injuries.
The photographers manage to capture stark, scary images of molten lava against crashing waves. “Not many people die each year, but when they do it's normally in large groups when large chunks of land drop into the sea,” Kale says.
