Family Frenzy!
It’s great to see so many friends and families spending their summer days out diving with us! Today we had a number of relatives diving and enjoying the warm summer weather. We had DSD’s, students, and certified divers all joining us on the afternoon charter aboard the Sea Fox. After listening to a short briefing, we all mad our way out to our first dive site.

At our first dive site, Turtle Canyons, we had a chance to see large schools of fish as well as complete some skills. Divers got an up close encounter with some green sea turtles, which is a Hawaiian favorite!
It was busy on the reef!
Crusin’ with a turtle!
We had some first time divers out on the boat with us and they were thrilled to experience life under the ocean for the first time. We had some younger children aboard with us who were more then excited to check out what life was like underwater.

We hopped out of the water and enjoyed some light snack on board before we hopped in at our second diver site, the ever elusive Koko Crater.

We made sure to check all the reef edges and were lucky enough to come across some rater cool marine animals while we were underwater.

As I said, it was really great to see so many families out diving with Island divers this afternoon, its such a great way to spend vacation and the summer months with the warm waters and tropical atmosphere.
