Hawaiian Monk Seal Can be Found Inside the Sea Cave of the Island of Oahu 2/17

We had an absolutely wonderful day out on the waters of the southeast side of Oahu. With little wind and small swells we headed around to Sea Cave for the first dive.  There was great viz as we dropped in and had a little current on the bottom. Inside the cave we were treated to a Hawaiian monk seal swimming about checking us out, but we soon left as he didn’t seem to happy by our presence.  Along the wall we had reef fish all about with schools of pennant butterflyfish and damsel fish guarding their egg patches.  We had a great drift but soon had to head up for the next site.

For the second dive we dropped in at Palea Point with a strong current and perfect viz.  There were fish everywhere with color butterflyfish and wrasses everywhere as well as a few eels hiding around the coral. We also had a few turtles swimming about the area and even found a tiger cowrey hiding in a cave.  It was a great day to be on the water and wonderful way to spend the morning.
