It must be the Season for Spotted Eagle Rays off the shores of Southern Oahu!

Today was a glorious day out on Maunaloa Bay. The sun was shining as we headed out from the dive shop  into the bay. The first dive site we went to was Anglers Reef. We dropped down to 43  feet and swam along the ledge looking for whatever marine life we could find. Today we were able to see a  couple moray eels, an octopus hiding in the coral, and lots of reef fish swimming around. As we neared the end of the dive after 38 minutes we were passed by a spotted eagle ray! He came and went but we were grateful for his presence none the less.

We had a brief surface interval to warm up and switch over tanks as we headed over to our second dive site which was Turtle Canyons. There was another spotted eagle ray hanging out at the bottom of the mooring line as soon as we jumped into the water. We dropped  down to 33 feet and went for a tour around the reef. We found  a few more  moray eels at this site as well as a turtle! We were also able to find a couple different nudibranchs, the imperial nudibranch, lacey nudibranch and blue dragon nudibranch. After 33 minutes we headed back up to the boat. Overall it was an excellent day of diving and we welcome the worlds two newest PADI open water scuba divers into the world! Congratulations Britney and Alexander!
