Spotted Eagle Rays spotted by First Time SCUBA divers! Feb. 11th

Today was a fun in the sun day at Island Divers. On the boat we had first time divers and Open Water students getting ready for our PM charter to Maunaula Bay.

Our first dive site was at Turtle Canyons. With a max depth of 36 feet our Discover Scuba Divers went on their first underwater adventure, while the students practiced mask clearing and navigation  skills in the sand. Underwater we saw several different kinds of moray eels, wrasse and butterfly fish. After 34 minute our group began to ascend up the mooring line and to begin their out of air scenarios.

The next dive site that was chosen was Koko Crater. With a max depth of 34 feet the group hit the water to be meet by a beautiful spotted eagle ray. This ray was not shy in the least, we enjoyed the ray while she flew past diving into the sand gliding over corals. Soon after we ran into a few local celebrates, such as the green sea turtle and our underwater Buddha statue.

 

Everyone really enjoyed the dives today and there new wetsuite tans, another awesome day diving on Oahu!

 

Cheers!
