Friday – At leas that’s what it feels like. Moving out to the corsair, we find that we’re unable to dive the location because of super strong current. So we make our way over to the LCU, an awesome site for seeing schools of fish, and, it turns out, escaping the current. While the water […]
Wednesday – The day starts off with a couple of awesome people trying scuba diving for the first time ever through our Discover Scuba Diving program. Josh, Gillian and I went over to Makai and rolled around in shallow waves for a little bit. We attempted some skills, and they smashed them all. From there […]
Friday – A neat crew, we gear up and head over to the Baby barge to hopefully see some sharks and see a wreck. The current was so strong that I was unable to stay at the surface and tie up the boat. So we decide to drift the barges. Usually it’s fairly relaxed even […]
Friday – BUT IT WAS SMOKING. We maybe shouldn’t have even tried it. But we did and it was actually pretty nice on the bottom. The Kahala Barge was good as ever lots of swim throughs to be had, and tons of marine life to see. I managed to balance a conch on my head […]
Tuesday – The Fox went out and by request we did spitting caves. The tide was high and the water was moving easterly so we drifted toward sea cave, seeing a huge eagle ray and the biggest scorpion fish I’ve ever laid eyes on. From there we just jumped back in and continued what we […]
Wednesday – By request we’re diving the Corsair. We have a couple of students doing advanced open water diving course, and the list is deep and drift. So we’re going as deep as we go: 105 feet. Current is pulling a little, but nothing serious. At 80 feet the thermocline makes us all freeze with […]
Monday – I jump into the pool with Chris, Mike, Tj, Charlie, and Jenna and we go over some skills that we need to dive for the first time. From there we’re joined by Alex, Manny, Tim Brenton and Nick. We go out to the first dive site: Pa’awa. We see some eels, some fish, […]
Sunday – Three Tanker Day! We had a bunch of really great people on board. Namely Ann, Chris, Billy, Peter, Randy, Allison, Toshiro, Patrick, John, Rebecca, Erica, and Gene. Gene especially is an old-timer fellow of Island Divers, and deserves a special mention. First stop was the Kahala barge. Deep, but the current wasn’t […]
Thursday – Smokey and the gang saddle up and… *ahem*-sorry- Mark, Crystal, Alicia, Chris, Elizabeth, Angela, Brian, Patrick, Other Chris, Max, Sunshine Scuba, and I jump on the Fox and head out to Corsair on request to find that the crazy heavy currents we’ve been having because of the full moon are making the site […]
Monday – A warm Sunny afternoon, we jump in a Koko craters. There’s diving to be done, and we’re the best candidates for it. A little fiddling with weight and ears and we make our way down to the little buddha. A quick jaunt through one of the craters and a turtle comes and swims […]
