HITTING THE WALL !! 12 january

No, not the Honolulu Marathon, we were hitting the wall for some great diving!  we have a number of world-class sites on the wall of Koko Head crater.  today we hit Palea Point, the outside eastern tip of Hanauma Bay.  really dramatic wall, with deep canyons, caves, and a swim through.  I’m always expecting the spectacular when i dive here, and everyone that dives it, also loves it, whether or not we see monk seals or manta rays.  joining me were Heike, brian, allinson, and mark, a great international group!   Palea was our 2nd dive, and it delivered, as usual.  good viz and mild current showed us turtles, needle nose barracuda, and large shoals of reef fish!  first dive was a drift of Skimmins reef, which is rapidly becoming a real favorite amongst our divers and staff.  an offshore wall, with canyons and swim-throughs, plus a colorful coral-covered top at about 30 to 40 feet.  a great multi-level dive! thanks to all for safe diving!  larry, kendal, liz
