Sunshine, Rainbows, and Scuba Diving!

/in /by

Today was a beautiful day out on the water here in Oahu! We had two students on the boat working towards their Open Water Certification and five certified divers all out to have a fun time. The first dive site we went to was Hawaii Loa. As we jumped in and descended to the bottom at about 35 feet we were greeted by a green sea turtle! We also saw porcupine fish, a school of moorish idols and sargent majors. After a 40 minute dive swimming with the fishies we headed back up onto the boat and over to our second dive site.

The second dive site we went to was Anglers Reef. The maximum depth on the bottom of the ledge is about 45 feet. We saw quite a few different types of moray eels, trumpet fish, and a school of trigger fish. The water was nice and clear and the divers were happy. After another 40 minute dive we headed back into the bay with the sun shinning and a lovely rainbow guiding our way back in. Overall it was an excellent both on and under the water. Congratulations to Steven and Adelle for completing their Open Water Scuba Diver certifications! See you guys next time!

A Beautiful day at Sea and Under!

/in /by

What a fantastic day for our most popular dive, the three tanker.  Light winds and a calm sea were our weather forecast all day.  We started the day a little different, the drift dive was first.  It was fantastic to be over at one of our wall dive at Spitting Caves.  It was filled with all the underwater wonder that it usually is.  Octopus, sharks, eels and reef fish.  Several people were working on classes and everyone else was just enjoying their dives!

On the way to the next dive site we did the first half or our whale watching tour…..well not really but the whales were out and about and letting us watch them.  We did our second dive at Baby Barge, which had a good current today.  Again with loads of sea life and so much to sea.

So excited because it’s been a long time since we were able to go to sea cave.  HUGE Shark in there and almost everyone had a chance to see it.  Everyone really liked the sea cave then we came out and drifted west.  Right at the mouth of the cave was another octopus, also got to see a couple eels, scorpion devil fish and so many moorish idols you couldn’t even count.  We did our entire safety stop surrounded by them!!

Current was a little quick this morning so we opted to do a double drift on Fantasy and Anglers!  We were greeted on the way to the dive site with humpbacks breaching!!  What a great start to the morning, plus we had birthday girl Courtney on the boat and also newly engaged couple Sophia and Nathan. (They did it yesterday on our Afternoon charter under the water!!)    Fantasy Reef was fantastic today, with Sharks, to many turtles to count, frog fish and millions of reef fish.  The dive was so amazing no one wanted to come up.

Anglers Reef was  super relaxing today, the current died a little.  We drifted along slowly which gave us time to look in all the little nooks and crannies.  We found a huge tridents trumpet,  purple scorpion leaf fish, lizard fish, loads of eels.  This gave Zach, Sophia and Nathan time to finish up there PADI Drift Diver Specialty.
