Monday Morning Monk Seal Flyby 03/24/14

It was a wonderful morning on the southeast side of Oahu today. We left the dock today with a small group of divers with Teddy, Paul, Ian, Oliver, and Hugh and decided on the Corsair for the first dive. There was a medium strength current but nothing too bad and great visibility. We got to the bottom and had reef fish everywhere with schools of butterflyfish and damselfish all about. You could also see all the garden eels about the area catching food in the current and even a small helmet snail in the sand.

For the second dive we headed to Spitting Caves and again had great visibility. Right after getting to the bottom a Hawaiian monk seal came by checking us out but sadly didn’t stick around long. Cruising along the reef we came across a few turtles resting in caves and a young one swimming about. We also had a few eels and lots of reef fish about. Near the end of the dive we found a white tip reef shark hiding in one of the last little caves. It was a great way to spend a Monday morning.
