Discover Scuba diving in Hawaii with turtles, moray eels and Humuhumunukunukuapua'a! - Island Divers Hawaii

Today was a beautiful day out on the water in Hawaii. We had a few students on the boat working towards their certifications, some discover scuba divers trying out diving for the first time, and some certified divers so it was a mixed bag of divers. We headed out to our first dive site, Koko Craters with lots of excitement. As we approached the dive site we were greeted by the turtles on the surface coming up for air. It was beautiful conditions underwater with 80+ foot visibility and 82 degree water temperature. While on the dive we encountered more turtles, moray eels, schools of sergeant majors, and an octopus! After a 40 minute dive to 37 feet we headed back up to the boat to go to the next dive site.

The second dive site we went to was Turtle Canyons. Once we dropped down to 35 feet we found a couple viper moray eels in the reef. They have such crazy teeth, wouldn’t want to get caught in those chompers! We found a few porcupine fish, blue dragon nudibranchs, and of course the state fish of Hawaii the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. After a 35 minute dive we headed back up to the boat and back in to dry land. Thanks to everyone for coming out and diving!
