Drift diving sea caves and wreck dives in Hawaii

Well it wasn’t a night dive so we didn’t actually see the moon but we certainly experienced what effect the moon has on ocean tides.  Heading out to the Corsair airplane wreck, always a great dive, we discovered that the current was just too ripping to tie up and dive such a small site. It is a shame if you want to see the Corsair but the up side is we do a fabulous dive we call the drifting the barges!  It is a dream dive for divers who like to explore as we can see three different wrecks plus all the underwater terrain between them!  Really it’s just a fantastic experience!!  2nd jump was a drift of Sea Cave  where the moon and current storms also played their role with the ocean.  As we headed into the cave we got a ‘white out’ which is caused by big wave pressure entering the cave and foaming up turning everything white.  We headed out seeing a shark on the way and drifted west along that fantastic wall seeing turtles and rays, and large schools of reef fish.  Thanks to all for safe diving,  Larry, Joe
