Aloha,
Thanks for choosing to dive with us today!  We had a beautiful day on and in the water.  Beau joined us for some AOW fun.  Chris, Adam, Brandon, Devon, Joe, and Jon were out hoping to find some “big stuff.”  Heading out to our first site we had three whales swim up to check us out.  Always love to have a bonus whale watch!!!  The currents were quite strong at the LCU.  We braved the waters anyway and were rewarded with a white tip reef shark, frog fish, and nice schooling reef fish.  During our surface interval we had a pod of spinner dolphins swim up to play.  After we had some Famous Amos and Red Vines we headed back in for dive two.  Fantasy is always a favorite here at IDH and today was no exception.  We saw some large green sea turtles, two large sharks, an octopus, and a pair of imperial nudibranchs!  Such a lucky day!  Thanks again for diving with IDH.  Until next time, dive easy!

Aloha,
Amy, Larry, and Capt. Jo
