Divers under glass!

/in /by

We love diving in Maunalua Bay on any day because of all the life and wrecks that are hidden under her waters. But there are days that can only be classified as EPIC and today was one of those days. 2 lucky divers joined me today aboard the Sea Fox: Monica and Rob. They chose to dive the wreck LCU as our first dive site, and she did not disappoint us. We were met by an ocean that looked like glass on the surface and perfect conditions at the site: 100 ft plus visibility and no current. We dropped down the lines and into the upside down wreck…

We were met by a 5ft white tip and during the dive we saw 3 more outside the wreck and under the Z blocks. They were very active today!

next up…

Two Spotted Eagles soaring above us…

a large school of Pacific Barracuda cruising along side…

and two Octopus hiding under the blocks…

So much to see it was sensory overload! a great dive!

Refuel and hydrate during a short surface interval and  it was on to our next site: a drift dive of Spitting Caves.

Eels of all kinds such as this White Mouth Moray…

And turtles drifting bye on their way to lunch!

It was a perfect day all around, with great divers, beautiful creatures, and awesome  me conditions! Thank you so much to all our divers for a safe and fun day out on the Sea Fox. Till we dive again… ALOHA!

October Fest of Diving!

/in , /by

It was a beautiful sunny day and Captain Joe just got done with his briefing. We headed out into Maunalua Bay and the 82 degree water looked very inviting. We made our way to Koko Craters which had good visibility and a max depth of 36 ft. We had some mild current underneath, but didn’t stop us from seeing turtles, pufferfish, hawaiian state fish, trumpetfish, seargant majors, and star pillows.

We surfaced and made our way out to another dive site called Foxy Land. Max depth here was 38 feet. Current definitely picked up on the surface and under the water as well. We saw beautiful corals and reef formations and not to mention a massive turtle. Everyone seemed to have a good time despite conditions and everyone left happy.

A big shout out to Lloyd for helping me out with everyone today. Mahalo!

Last, but not least…congrats to first time divers, MARIA, CODY, AND SYDNEY.

Aloha Friday Drifting!

/in , /by

A beautiful Aloha Friday broke out this morning as our fearless dive group boarded the Sea Fox looking forward to an exciting day out in Maunalua Bay. Ready to explore the ocean blue was Aaron, Alex, Andrew, Dustin, Elizabeth, Jimmy, Heather, Grady, Tammy, John, Marcus, Matt and Ty. A great group of excited and experienced divers. We set our sites on LCU, but with a ripping current it was decided that we would DRIFT THE BARGES! YAY MY FAVORITE! We dropped down onto Baby Barge first…

And plenty of Turtles getting their spa day in!

Next we drifted to New Barge…

And a large group of HUGE Alua were ducking in and around the inside of the wreck…

and finally we dropped into LCU…

Three White Tip Reef Sharks resting inside the wreck! A great dive!

After a sufficient surface interval it was on to Fantasy Reef… a beautiful coral reef that sits at around 50ft.

LOTS of Turtle action!

A friendly Barracuda!

A fantastic day of drift diving was had by all! thank you to all our divers for a safe and fun day out in the water! Till we dive again… ALOHA!
