Great Memorial Day Diving in Maunalua Bay!

What better thing to do then go diving to celebrate Memorial Day! That’s what 3 students and 4 certified divers, and another instructor (Bill) thought as well. With Captain Shiloh at the helm we made our way out into the gorgeous Maunalua Bay. I had wondered how things were going to be since the “King Tides” making their way here on the south shores of Oahu, but was pleasantly surprised with good visibility 50 ft. and not too much current on our first dive site, Koko Craters! The water temperature at 78 degrees made it comfortable as well. There at the site we saw many things such as eels, sea cucumbers, Hawaiian State fish ( Humuhumunukunukuapua), pufferfish, and not to mention the main attraction, the great sea turtles! They were everywhere!

After there we decided on our next destination, Angler’s Reef with a maximum depth of about 45 feet and, we made our way and hooked up to the mooring line. The visibility here was also around 50 ft. Upon descending there were plenty of sea life to see all along the top of the mini wall. We saw other things such as little and big eels, star pillows, nudibranchs, trumpetfish, pufferfish, and many other different forms of life.

Upon concluding this dive we had two more join our ranks of certified divers! Big shout out and congratulations to Melinda and Brandon upon completing their Open Water!
