Shark Fest at LCU… Jan 26

one

A blustery Monday morning out in Maunaloa Bay didn’t deter a group of determined divers heading out to explore the wrecks and walls of the area…

Adam, Bill, Jason, Dale, Jessica, Joe, Ken, Pierre, and Ross joined Larry (the bunny ear maker) and I out on the Sea Hound. There was a slight chop on the water as we made our way to our first site…LCU. Great visibility and a moderate current were the conditions of the day as our divers made their way down the lines and under the ship…

3 White Tip Sharks swam slowly under the site, while others glided effortlessly around the cement blocks…

while around the perimeter flew a formation of spotted eagle rays…

Soon it was time to ascend back up the lines and ready ourselves for our next destination… a drift of Spitting Caves.

While the current was absent here there was excellent visibility still to be had… and lots to see…

A Yellow Margin Moray Eel poked its head out from under a coral ledge…
