Extreme diving! 4/16
On this wonderful Hawaiian morning, we had the pleasure of the Corsair. We jumped in the water around 9 am exactly taking our day off to a strong start. We descended on the Corsair enjoying the 100+ visibility. After about 12 minutes on the bottom I spotted a crocodile snake eel! Extraordinaire just buried in the sand doing his thing. We had an marvelous surface interval in the calm waters protected by Koko Head. Where for the second site we had the beauty of Anglers. The truly epic instructor Kellen Bernhardt found us a playful little taco, he was very curious and really into Kellen, whom it so happened was having a birthday. Happy Birthday Kellen I hope your life continues to be epic! Thank you to all our lovely divers today, special thanks to Dane Hogue for all the incredible pictures. Also another thanks to Warren and Amy for the picture of the snake eel and coming diving with us multiple days you guys were a treat to have on the boat and we look forward to seeing you both tomorrow! Del, I’m stoked you were able to touch the friendly octopus today I hope that you come back again soon and dive with me! And Let us not forget Geoff you were full of cheering smiles all day even underwater I caught you with a big grin, I hope I affected your life today as you did mine. Your cheery spirits made me in a better mood. All in all the group on the boat today was full of excellent people. David Sanchez and Chris did an outstanding job with their dive master training by providing excellent service to all the customers today and to their teacher David, the ever happy instructor teaching his avid students. Thank you all once again for diving with Maxine (me) today, You all were an absolute pleasure and I can’t wait to see you all again really soon.
