Playing in the Currents 1/20

The wonderful conditions continue diving off Oahu today. We still have nice, calm winds and the surface conditions are great. We did have some strong currents as we had a big tide swing today so we headed out for a couple drift dives off the wall by Hanauma Bay.  We dove off the wall by Sea Cave for the first dive but with some weird currents missed the cave itself.  It was still a great dive as we had wonderful viz and fish everywhere.  There were schools of pennant butterflyfish and wrasses swimming about us and found a few turtles in a couple smaller caves that swam out as we came upon them.  Soon it was time to head up and continue to the next dive.

For the second site we dove Palea Point and it was awesome.  The viz and current we perfect and we cruised the reef.  Again there was life all around the site with large schools of butterflyfish and damsels swimming around the rocks. We also found a large octopus and a massive cornet fish resting near the bottom. There were a couple more turtles on the reef. It was a wonderful day diving the southeast side of Oahu.
