Counting Eels-8/17
It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon for some diving adventures on the Sea Hound. We left Kewalo Basin a bit early and soon arrived at the Sea Tiger. What a great start – a few Honu, a White Tip Shark, a variety of Eels, and some Trumpetfish along with a large school of Blue Stripe Snapper all on our first dive! Next we motored down to Pinnacles where we found more Eels as we swam around this really interesting reef. There were quite a few fish on the reef, Jim and Mike found a large Octopus too. On the surface we refueled with sandwiches, snacks, and fluids, then headed for our third dive at Secret Wreck. We started with great visibility at this shallow wreck site and were again treated to a variety of Hawaii ocean wild life. Another White Tip, small kine, was cruising around, Izzy found a nice Leaf Scorpionfish, and yep, more Eels. The wreck is an old tug and sits tilted and has lots of great hiding spots for critters. Looks like we’ll see Jason on a few more dives before He heads to the mainland. It’s a little sad ending such a nice day on the water here in Paradise, but there’s another great trip just around the corner. Thanks for letting us support your diving habit, and thanks for safe diving everyone!
