Refreshing the Open Water Experience 9/5

Starting out with two joyous refreshers Missy and Derek, absolute treat to hang out with you two all day. Great energy and happy to be on the water making me love my job even more thank you! Heading over to Maka’i research pier we refreshed their open water skills, getting them back into the swing of things. After the pier I headed in to town to pick up Jimmy our advanced student and Kelley another certified diver. Getting off the dock with plenty of excited people. We were also joined by Cara and Charley for open water dives 1 and 2, as well as Dive master candidates Chris and Heather. Larry another instructor coming out to take advanced students Jimmy and Ashley one of our own crew.  Making for a great group of people to enjoy the 80+  visibility at Koko Craters. After a 30 minute dive exploring the Craters and visiting the statues, and turtles, we headed over to Turtle Canyons. Where visibility was around 50 or so, but the ever beautiful corals and a spotted eagle ray dropped in to say hi! 53 minutes getting to explore the canyons of my favorite dive spot we stopped at a coral head underneath the boat to see a snarling viper moray to wish us a good bye. Thanks Larry for the incredible pictures it’s always appreciated, you are by far my favorite photography. Another big thanks to all our divers today for coming out and diving with us and conquering those fears I could see a lot of progress for most of you improving and becoming better divers. Great job.:)
