All bubbles and no troubles diving in Oahu!
We had a boat full over divers today at Island Divers Hawaii. First time scuba divers explored the sea floor with certified family members, while Open Water students brought their training to the reef along with great compass practice and peak performance bouyance divers working towards their advanced.
Maxine lead a group of 7 certified divers down the Koko Craters for their our first dive down to Koko Crater. With a maximum depth of 39ft and awesome visibilty, she was able to spot lots of critters. Several different colored leaf scorpion fish were out to play today, along with snowflake eels and school of Sargent Major fish. With a slight bit of current the group was able to visit most of our underwater Buddha statues before turning around and lightly drifting towards the boat

In the mean time Sarah was taking our first time Discover Scuba Divers and Open water students in a small and fun adventure, while I worked on a Peak Performance Buoyancy Adventure dive in a nearby sand patch.
Our Second dive site was a local favorite called Turtle Canyons. With a max depth of 40 feet our divers gathered together to find more underwater life. Below Maxine and her gang of certified’s saw a very large Viper Eel free swimming across the reef. While I worked on a Underwater Navigation course a fully grown Milkfish seemed to hover on by. Under the boat Sarah was introducing her divers to a burr and puffer fish, they all made friends

Today was a beautiful day diving on Oahu, divers of all levels shared the excitement of their adventure together!
We look forward to taking another dive with each of you again soon!
