Diving Perfection
What a fantastic day for diving! We couldn’t have asked for better weather and conditions for the afternoon charter on the Sea Fox. We had a great group of divers that varied in their levels of diving. For our first time divers, we had an opportunity to see Hawaii’s marine world at its best. Everyone was excited to jump in the water and check out some of our favorite dive sites.
Gearing up for the first dive.
At our first site, Koko Crater, divers got to experience 100+ ft visibility, which allowed them to get some great views of one of our favorite sites. With a such a small group of divers, we had the opportunity to see some awesome marine life up close.
Triggerfish
Our Open Water students got to test their skills in pristine conditions, and had enough time to check out the rest of the site with the other certified divers. We spent about half an hour exploring the nooks and crannies finding some really cool creatures!
Checking in with some local eels.
We spent our surface interval enjoying the sunshine and exchanging stories of diving. Divers, both new and old, were excited to have mother nature on our side this afternoon.

Ready to jump back in!
At our second site, Pa’a’awa, the divers had a close encounter with a friendly sea turtle, some traveling nudibranch, and even found an octopus!
Cruising along.
Our students had the opportunity to practice their buoyancy along the wall and across the large boulders that were teeming with marine life. It was a very active day out on the Maunalua Bay reefs.
Enjoying the warm sun on the way in.
