Corsair and Keanu with Pete and Max – May 17

It was a gorgeous morning as the Sea Fox headed out of the channel past all the surfers, kayakers, and paddlers out in Maunalua Bay trying to catch a wave as the first decent south swell of the season picks up.

First stop, Corsair. The divers went down the long lines to the old plane wreck sitting in the sand at 107′. Everyone had a great time checking out the super cool dive site and all of her inhabitants. One diver even claimed to see a Galapagos Shark cruise by! After a short 20 minute dive the group ascended, did a safety stop, then clambered back onto the deck of the Fox for a nice long 60 minute surface interval.

Capt Joe patrolled the wall searching for a Mahi, Ahi, or Ono, but alas no delicious fish were landed today. Once the appropriate amount of nitrogen had been off-gassed the divers shot back down to 75′ fora 35 minute drift on Keanu Reef where they encountered eels, corals, fish and even a White Tip Reef Shark.

Two great dives for a great group of divers!
