Want adventure? Just add water.

This afternoon on the Sea Fox we were joined by James, Jennie, and Erika.

Prior to their afternoon dives, the trio of adventurers started their day at IDH’s Hawaii Kai location at 0900 in the morning. After paper work and a brief video, the trio were whisked away in the brand NEW Island Divers van to the Makaii Research Pier where they would get their confined skill presentation and practice. The confident trio smashed through the skills with ease, much to the delight of their instructor! Having been so impressed with his students, the instructor brought the new divers down a little deeper, 12 feet, for some swim and trim practice. They nailed it, of course, and were back at the shop with plenty of time for lunch.

After lunch the trio boarded the Sea Fox, GoPro in hand. The first site on the agenda, Koko Craters. The trio descended into wonderful condition 60ft visibility with mild to moderate surge & current. Numerous turtles and giant morays were captured on video, sergeant majors charged the divers, and the divers got an up close and personal look at both a pin cushion starfish and porcupine fish.

Angler’s Reef was the second dive site. Visibility increased to 80ft, and the divers saw more and more giant moray eels. Both green and snowflake moray eels. This time the trio swam through large schools of trigger, banner, and cornet fish. Before they knew it, they were back topside enjoying a nice ice cold beverage.
