Moray eels, turtles, devil scorpion fish plus more spotted at Koko craters and Turtle canyon dives.

Today was an amazing day out on the water at Maunalua Bay! The sun was shinning bright and the divers smiles were shinning brighter. We had a few certified divers on the boat this afternoon, one diver Discovering Scuba Diving for the first time, some students working towards their Open Water Certification and even one student working on his Advanced Open Water.  The first dive site we went to was Koko Craters. We dropped down to 37 feet by the little Buddha statue to start our dive. After swimming over to the big Buddha statue we found a couple turtles sleeping underneath the ledge! We also saw a group of Sergeant major fish swimming around by the statue. We kept cruising along running into a few more turtles during the dive and found a couple moray eels in the reef. After 40 minutes we headed back up to the boat.   After hanging  out in the sun for a short surface interval we headed over to Turtle Canyons for our second  dive. Our maximum depth on this dive was 33  feet. We  dropped down on the reef and were immediately greeted by a large Spotted Moray Eel. We went for a 38 minute dive finding quite a few more eels, a devil scorpion fish, a few porcupine fish, and of course the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a! Overall it was an excellent day both on top of the water and underneath! Thanks to everyone for coming out and see you next time! Happy diving!
