South-side Triple, 6/28

The weather was beautiful ( maybe even a bit warm ) as we left Kewalo Basin with a full Sea Hound. The Sea Tiger, our first dive site of the day, had very little current and great vis. There were a couple Honu and a few Pacific Trumpet Fish hanging around, along with a large school of Blue Stripe Snappers. What a great start to the day!
Depth: 100′, Temp: 77 f, Vis: 100′ +

After a long surface interval with cookies, chips, and pineapple, our second stop was YO-257. We tried for 100 ft hole, but the current was cruising a bit too strong. With a bit less current and really good vis, the YO did not disappoint! More Honu ( Green Sea Turtles ), Pennant Butterflyfish, and the Atlantis Sub all joined in the fun.
Depth: 92 ‘, Temp: 76 f, Vis: 100’

To end the day, we chose Neptunes Throne, a bit shallower, but still with good vis and lots of great marine life. We visited the “Throne” room, then went on to explore the many coral heads and finger reefs in the area. There were Penant Butterflyfish, Yellow Tangs ( juvenile and adult ), and several eels. Brittany spotted a Tiger Snake Moray Eel ( mean looking, but really shy ) and there was a very large school of some yummy looking fish overhead. Reluctantly, we returned to the surface to end another great day of sub-surface adventures. Mahalo for letting IDH support your diving habit..it was a blast diving with you all today, and come back soon!
