Father’s Day Three Tanker!!!!!

The swells were small and the sun was shining as we headed out to Moanalua Bay this morning. We had a great group of certified divers with us (many who have been with us before) and a few were working on completing various specialties, like drift and wreck.

Our first site was Kahala Barge, which sits in the sand at 95ft. There was a moderate current and all our divers did an excellent job of navigating in it. Visibility was amazing. We could see the wreck clearly from the surface.  Kahala Barge has quite a bit of coral growth on it and we saw several different kinds of nudibranchs. There was also a large school of yellow pyramid butterfly fish hanging around the top of the wreck near the morning ball.

For our next stop, we ventured around Diamondhead to visit the wrecks of the YO-257 and the San Pedro (one of my favorite wrecks).  Once again, visibility was super but there wasn’t much current this time. We found several green sea turtles right as we descended. An eagle ray also cruised around the wrecks while we explored. There were several eels poking their heads out of their hiding holes. The final few divers got a special treat when they came across a whitetip reek shark with an eel just hanging with it’s shark buddy.

We made our way back into Moanalua Bay for our final dive. We drifted Fantasy Reef and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Right after we dropped, a large green sea turtle swam right past us as he made his way into the open ocean. We came across quite a few more though. In the shark cave, a turtle had squeezed into it and cozied up to a whitetip reef sharks. It seems like all the sharks had friends today! We had a nice long drift and saw so many different fish (all sorts of butterfly fish, moorish idols, parrotfish and wrasses). Thank you to everyone who chose to spend Father’s Day with us! We had a great time showing you around our underwater world!
