West Side Monk (E) Business, April 26

The Enzo left Waianae Small Boat Harbor in calm seas with a bit of a breeze. It was a smooth cruise over to the Mahi for a fantastic dive with a small group out for fun and another group of divers working on Divemaster type activities. The Mahi wreck is visually stunning in it’s new configuration and we were visited by a small Spotted Eagle Ray, a few Puffer Fish, and other various local marine life. A large Stingray was also spotted. After a leisurely drive to tie up at Makaha Caverns, we started our second dive of the day. We were treated to several Green Sea Turtles as we swam through the main caverns and many more throughout the dive. One largish White Mouth Moray Eel and an abundance of reef fish were also seen. Then, just as we were ending our adventures, a Monk seal decided to make its presence know just behind the boat. What an awesome finish to another wonderful day on the ocean.
