Aloha! Thanks for joining Island Divers for a great morning of diving.  Captain Kendall  led us out to the beautiful Navy F4 Corsair wreck.  Once we were moored up, we headed down the 108′ to the Corsair and explored the wreck’s structure, eels, octopus, and soldier fish.  Swimming over the sand we watched the garden eels dancing in the sea currents.  After :20 we ascended, completed our safety stop, and prepared for our next dive.

For the second dive we dropped in Sea Cave for a drift.  We swam around the perimeter of the cave and checked out the resident school of needlefish, gold lace nudibranchs, white margin nudibranchs, hairy-legged hermit crabs, and a large green sea turtle.  After :20 in the cave we headed east towards Hanauma Bay! We saw tons of schooling reef fish: sergeants, damsels,and moorish idols. We were greeted by more Hawaiian green sea turtles and located one nice sized Frog fish.  Overall, great day of diving!  Thanks again for choosing to dive with IDH!  Until next time, dive easy!

Aloha,

Amy
