Lanai scuba diving trip!

The boat was loaded and ready to go at our 630 departure.  Full of eager divers and staff getting to go on an adventure to new dive sites.  The weather was a little challenging but we all were up for it.  At the start of the dive trip one of the divers told me this was on her “Bucket List for Hawaii”.  We are so happy we made this a great experience for her and all our divers.

Captain Joe and Captain Kendal took us through the night on the Sea Fox while all of us rested for the next day.  Awesome that we have such great Captains.  It was a little crazy getting over there but we found calm waters eventually.  In the morning we made it to our first dive site of Monolith.  Our belly’s full of a good breakfast we did what we came for and that is a great dive.  Monolith is max depth of about 85 feet.  There were huge lava tube swim thru’s, so many fish to see and just a beautiful clear site for us.

Our next dive spot was called Shark Fin…from the picture you can see why.  This was a super site.  In a protected cove we had lots of small caves and lava tubes to look into.  Beautiful marine life was abundant.  At Shark Fin, we kept our max depth to around 60 feet but could have gone much deeper.  Plenty of octopus, eels and even a spanish dancer, to keep us occupied.  Everyone came back to the boat with lots to talk about.

The next site we went to was Lady Fingers, max depth was 60 feet.  We started our dive at 30, went in to 15 feet then out to about 50 on average.  This Dive Instructor’s favorite of the trip, was filled with loads of amazing things.  From the rare 3 tone butterfly fish to the elusive Dwarf blue eyed yellow eel.  Also spotted eagle rays and octopus  were seen.

We left the dock as Captain’s, Crew, Dive staff and customers……We came back as Friends that went on a wonderful adventure together.  As we left the boat and went our different ways it was nice to see everyone sharing hugs and goodbyes.  Until we get to do this again on our next Island Divers Trip….Happy Bubbles!!!
