LOOK DEEP INTO NATURE. . . 21 january

. . .and then you will understand everything better – Albert Einstein.  well, i think that is true, and diving is certainly a unique look!  Diving the volcanic walls off of Koko Head crater, with their canyons, caves, and lava tubes, always gives me a profound sense of power, mystery, and timelessness. Add in thousands of varieties of fish, mammals, mollusks, nudibranchs, reptiles, and, of course, octopus, then one is subject to a feeling of awe at this creation, and how it fits together.  I enjoy diving so much more than Honolulu traffic! First dive was the ever-popular Corsair airplane wreck, still in great shape, with plenty to see around it – fish, eels, crabs, morays – and being a deeper site, the potential for whales, sharks, and amazing translucent critters riding the currents.  great conditions – mild current and good viz, and we had a great dive.  2nd jump was a drift of Baboon Nose, and what a treat.  such a spectacular dive experience!  just amazing topography – walls, ledges, channels, and caves, all holding and supporting a myriad of sea life.  thanks to all for safe diving!  larry, joe
