Group of Pufferfish in the Deep Sea Blue of Hawaii! Feb 2nd

Today was a windy day at Island Divers Hawaii. With winds picking up from the south the it was a bumpy ride out to our first dive site. We had happy divers ready to make their first descent down to Baby Barge. At a max depth of 80 feet our group spotted several large Crown of Thorn starfish and a few big Jack Fish. A few Green Sea Turtles swam out of the sunken barge which where also hidding schools of squirrel fish. Heading down the ledge and to a small cave we spotted a 5 foot white tip reef shark sleeping in the sand.

Once back on the boat we made our way through the waves and onto a shallow reef called Anglers. Down below the visibility was awesome! With light current we had an easy dive looking for Moray Eels and Trumpet fish at a max depth of 46ft. Into the blue we saw a group of puffer fish.  Swimming up close we counted 13!

After a 49 minute dive we made our way back to surface and headed back to the shop.

Awesome visibility dives with so much marine life today!
