Fascinating marine life spotted during Honolulu dives! Sharks, turtles, Humuhumunuknukuapua’a, and a lot more!

What an EPIC dive day we all had.  The boat had quite the international mix.  We had Aussie’s and German’s.  Our first stop was the Corsair (max depth 107ft).  The water was clear, no current just the best day to dive there.  It was everyone’s first time there and they really enjoyed the only actual plane wreck in Oahu.  Ben and Michelle enjoyed extra time taking advantage of their NITROX certifications.  Atticus enjoyed his very first wreck ever and Tilo really enjoyed the dive also.  Many scorpion leaf fish on the wreck as the garden eels floated in sentry around the wreck in their regular fashion.

We did an amazing drift dive on Spitting Caves (max depth 50 ft).  In one of the caves we found a sleeping 5 foot white tip reef shark, again another first for some of our divers.  We also got the chance to remove a hook from the state fish, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a !  He was trapped with a fish hook in his lip and stuck on a line. He let me hold him and remove the hook.  What a great day.  We got to see lots of turtles, trigger fish, moorish idols, and a big fat frog fish.

Another Amazing dive day with Island Divers!!
