Diving Report

This afternoon we had 2 exceptional dives. Our first dive was a Koko Craters and we saw turtles, octopus and eels. Great vis at Koko’s, but a strong current. Our 2nd dive was at Anglers and again we had great vis. Anglers provided us with HUGE eels, frog fish and a leaf scorpion fish. Thanks to all who came out and congradulations to Carmen and Joe for their first scuba experience.

viz was down to 85 feet today, but we hit slack current on baby barge, so we cruised all around it for a nice long dive. keith and whitney were working towards their advanced cards, and both did great. ron and jan were out for fun, as was steve, and local connie. lots of big turtles, and a tiny octopus,plus big morays, and a swimming whitetip shark. 2nd jump was a drift over fantasy, and the current had really picked up, giving us a great ride over this beautiful site. more turtles, banded shrimp, giagantic morays, plus an big eagle ray and lots of reef fish rounded out a great dive. thanks to all, larry

We had a great day on the water this morning diving off the Sea Fox. The first site we hit was the Corsair and the viz was great. There were schools of snapper and goatfish around the plane as well as a lot of butterfly fish and damselfish. The second dive we drifted Fantasy Reef and had a great dive. There were a few eels hiding in the coral. We also had a lot of turtles both swimming and resting around the area. There was also a good sized white tip reef shark swimming around the reef.

Sea Cave always reminds me why I am in this business. It is a beautiful site with a vibrant reef. Spitting Cave didn’t dissapoint either. We were lucky to see so many turtles. Thanks everyone for being troopers in the rough water. I know it was worth it.

gorgeous morning on the ocean today here in warm, sunny hawaii! the current was still a bit strong, going makapuu, so no wall today. we jumped in at fantasy after mooring up and cruised all the way to the shark cave, waking up the occupant shark. lots of turtles, some big morays, and loads of reef fish. 2nd jump was a drift over baby barge, after a perfect drop from capt. tony, right on the ledge over that shark cave. no sharks but some big turtles! a couple of ‘crown of thorn’ sea stars, a huge conch shell, and on our gradual ascent, a 6 foot whitetip shark swimming lazily beneath us. thanks to all for a great day, larry
