June 12 with Ms. Flounder

Hello Divers,

Scuba Diving on Oahu is great because you never know what you’re going to get.  It feels like anything, from seeing a whale shark to capturing little Ms. Flowery Flounder at her best, could happen and it frequently does.  When we dropped down onto LCU wreck we were pleasantly surprised to find a white tip reef shark, and a turtle hanging out together. We weren’t able to find the frog fish that are spotted occasionally but we did noticed a helmet conch shell near the boots that made up for it.  Turtle Canyon viz on the second dive wasn’t great but it didn’t stop us from spotting eels and more eels, and nudibranch after nudibranch. See picture below. This Lobe Coral at Turtle canyons is simply magnificent. Let’s all just take a moment and admire it.

Thanks to all my divers for taking me diving today. You have a place here with us at Island Divers Hawaii any time.
