Aloha,

Thanks for choosing to dive with Island Divers Hawaii.  We had our fantastic group of high school marine science students, Ocean Matters, from sunny Florida join us for an lazy afternoon of diving.  Capt’n K led our group of eager divers to Kahala for a fabulous start.  We explored the inside of the wreck which rests in 95′ of water then did a perimeter sweep.  We saw: a sandbar shark, huge sponge crab, some black coral, and lots of schooling reef fish.  For dive two we cruised over to Angler’s Reef.  This is a beautiful reef ledge in 55′ of crystal clear water.  Today it was like an treasure chest full of exciting finds!  We saw: leaf scorpion fish, an octopus, nudibranchs,  helmet shells, sea biscuits, cushion starfish, lots of eels, and giant porcupine fish.  All in all, it was a great afternoon of diving.  Thanks again for choosing IDH.  Until next time, dive easy.

Aloha,
