Diving Oahu’s west side.

What a great day with Island Divers Dive Club Members.  Today we ventured up to the west side of the island and did a couple of dives.  We were headed to Black Rock but it was a little to rough there so we went to the old Mine Sweeper wreck called the Mahi, max depth today was 95 feet.  There was a bit of current but that was no problem for our seasoned crew of divers.  Checking out all the nooks and crannies of the wreck, so interesting.  There is so much life on the wreck and its super fun when there is current because we get to see the , and today the biggest Puffer Fish that most had ever seen.

 

We had a super nice boat ride to our nice dive site and were escorted there by a large pod of spinner dolphins.  It was so great to watch all the babies learning to ride the wake of the boat.  Things like that just make Surface intervals nice to have.  Everyone was crowded to the port side of the boat to watch them.

We arrived at our next dive site of STARS, max depth was 60 feet.  This is the coolest dive site.  Where the mooring ties up there is a chimney that you go down.  Its about 30 feet then you emerge at the bottom and head on the dive. The picture below is a view looking up to the mooring line.

  Stars is such a great location, plenty of small caves and swim throughs and we did them all!  There was so much to see on this dive.  Plenty of fish, eels, a baby turtle and exploring to be had.  Once back on the boat we couldn’t stop talking about our next dive club adventure.  All in all this was a great day.  Thanks to Allison, Becky, James, Anthony, Steven, Chad, Jennifer, Rebecca and Scott for coming diving!!!!
