Where’s Toto? – 29 November

It was a fantastic day to dive the West side of Oahu! Great weather and excellent conditions underwater were the order of the day. We had regulars Morgan, Jason, Ryan, and Deb along with visitors Ruth, Gary, Garrett, Pilar, and Tim. Josh brought along Mary, Sabina, and Sulfiati to complete the group. Captain Mike took us over to the Mahi first and conditions were great for us. The usual puffers were absent, but we ran into a large school of Bluestripe Snapper, a Whitemouth Moray Eel, and a nice size Octopus.

Second stop was Oz. With varying topography (walls, canyons, sand, and ledges), this is becoming one of my favorites on the West Side. Here we saw a few Turtles, a Spotted Eagle Ray that hung out for about 3 minutes, Moray Eels, and spectacular views all around! Too soon, the dive was over and it was time for some bun-less burgers and refreshments.

Great diving with all of you on some memorable dives! Till next time, Aloha..
