An Outstanding Afternoon!

/in /by

imageFor our afternoon charter, we went to Angler’s Reef (max depth 43ft) and Hawaii Loa (max depth 42ft). It was a perfect day for diving! The sea was calm and current and wind were minimal. We saw some eels and an octopus at Angler’s. At Hawaii Loa, we found a pair or nudibranchs, a hawksbill turtle, a Hawaiian green sea turtle, and a white tip reef shark! Finally, four humpbacks cruised along near the boat on our way back into the harbor, making for an outstanding afternoon on the water!

Diving in Oahu with new PADI Certified Dive Buddies!!

/in /by

It was a little cloudy on the surface, but crystal clear underwater! Stella and Steve completed their Advanced Open Water certifications, while Ting Ting, Stanford, and Eric finished their Open Water certifications. Our first stop was Koko Craters, where we saw many turtles, eels, and a nudibranch! There wasn’t much current and visibility was great, so we had a great dive. Dive #2 was at Angler’s Reef. There wasn’t any current and there was amazing visibility! We saw schools of fish, many eels and a few nudibranch as well! All in all, an amazing day of diving with some great students!

HUMPBACKS WHILE DIVING !! jan 4

/in /by

A dive for the books today, as the Pacific Ocean treated us to an extremely rare and other-worldly second dive. Sea cave was our first stop, and a great dive it was, as we spotted turtles, both inside and outside the cave, as well as huge schools of reef fish, octopus, a shark, and whale song! the cave is a fantastic experience, due to the dramatic lighting and the marine creatures we see. 2nd jump was a drift of spitting cave, and it was beyond spectacular, as we saw turtles, sharks, eels, octopus, and 4 humpback whales swam by our other team of drifters!  extremely rare and awesome treat!!  thanks to all for safe diving!  larry, kendal, ashley
