Training with Turtles

We had perfect conditions this afternoon for Open Water and Divemaster training! Visibility was great and there was only a slight current which allowed all of the students great conditions to perfect their diving skills.

We had time to enjoy some of Hawaii’s well known marine life, but still had some business to attend to. Both of the divers completed their skills and passed with flying colors.

We even got to feed some of the fish which allowed our divers a hands on experience with some hungry locals!

Our second dive at Angler’s Reef got our divers into some more advanced skills and proved to the instructors that they were ready to become open water divers.

Since the visibility and current were in our favor, we had the opportunity to truly enjoy some of the marine animals that are housed in the coral ledge.
