A Change in the Currents

We were greeted with another wonderful day of diving in Oahu. A small group of divers aboard the afternoon Sea Fox made for an awesome dive trip. We decided that our first stop would be at Turtle Canyons, which had fantastic visibility!

The coral formations at this site house some awesome marine life. It is different each time you dive this site because there is always so much to see.

As long as you keep your eyes open and are looking in all the right places, you will soon discover all the fun things to see. Today we spotted octopus, eels, starfish, and tons of fish!

 

At our second site, we decided that with such a great group of divers that we would give Spitting Caves a go. It was a great way for some of our students to finish up their Open Water certification dives.

Of course we saw tons of fish and had a great time exploring each of the caves that line the southeastern point of the island. It was an odd situation when halfway through the dive, the currents changed a bit. We still had an easy time navigating the site, and we couldn’t have asked for better visibility!
