FIND THE CRAB! WIN A FREE TRIP TO THE BIG ISLAND! dive report 4/4/2014

Baby barge was our first stop today, and it was perfect underwater.  Lots of push on the surface, creating some good surfing waves, and a bumpy surface!  But today’s divers were excellent underwater and climbing the ladder!  We stopped in the shark cave, but no sharks there, just a huge turtle!  heading to the barge we saw a juvenile frogfish, some eels, and more turtles!  i checked the cave under the barge with my flashlight, and BINGO, a big whitetip shark hanging out! Diving with me today were locals Jane, a Pulmonologist, daughter Skylar, a student at Iolani, and son Tegan, visiting from school in the Carolinas.  Also new regular Jeff the pilot, and cold water diver Scott from SD, whose girlfriend was doing Day One of her Open Water Course!  Everyone was up for a drift, so we headed to Fantasy Reef, dropped in on the west end and commenced drifting!  lots more huge turtles, big eels, 5 slipper lobster in one hole, and a spiky sea cucumber with a tiny crab on it’s underside.  see if you can find it in the photo above!  if you do find it, you should be very proud of yourself, but you should never believe headlines either. thanks to all, captain joe and crew erica, plus maximum Max.bannerfish max:turtle turtle wide DSC00030
