Friday – Darren, Joy, Bill, Andy, and a bunch of guys from both Sunshine Scuba and Alohana were on the boat this morning as we headed out to Baby barge. The ocean was glassy, lake Maunalua, because we’ve had some awesome Kona winds the last two days. Perfect diving conditions. Sunny, low swell, no wind. […]
Wednesday – Elliot, Brandi, Joe and myself departed the dock to medium swell and some big clouds. We made our way over to the LCU, one of our best-condition wrecks. Visibility was about 85 feet, and there was a really interesting thermocline at about 80 feet, making sitting in the sand a cold prospect. The […]
Tuesday – Elliot and Sarah were on the boat finishing up Day Three of our Three Day Open Water course. They’re from Toronto and have been enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having lately. We jumped into back crater at Koko’s, and swam around for a bit, seeing a couple green sea turtles and a […]
Thursday – Four guests plus myself head out to the corsair first for some deep diving. Ray, Feras, Nick, and Mark were on board. Cj and his lovely wife Paula were out for some fun diving as well. We dropped onto the Corsair, a fairly difficult prospect considering how strong the current is flowing. It seems […]
Monday – The crew geared up and left the dock on the AM Fox. On board were Chris, Caleb, and Rianne, plus a few guests from Sunshine Scuba. Making our way to Kahala Barge, the current was just light enough that we were able to tie up. In reality the current was moving so heavily, I […]
Thursday – Corina, Pierre, Tim, Graham, Terris, Nate, Kris, And Cassie were all in attendance on this super nice but windy day. We jumped in to Koko craters to small wind waves and warm swells. A quick jaunt to the bottom led us to Sand crater and the little buddha. We did some compass nav […]
Tuesday – The crew and passengers got together and we went first to the Kahala Barge. On boat we had Sophie, Ian, Troy, Kevin, Colleen, Jon, and Pascal. All super divers, and up for anything. Rough seas and a strong current made jumping in the water a tricky endeavor, but then once under the waves […]
Thursday – Onboard we have Sophie, a Lovely lady from Scandinavia who is also one of our AOW divers; Richard and Rachel, two OW students just finishing up certification; Tom and Autumn, Tom getting his Fish ID Specialty and Autumn a snorkeling expert; Chris, from LA is an awesome guy and is here on impromptu […]
Saturday – Nearly ideal tidal conditions allow us to pick any site we want. And today I’m picking Koko’s and Spitting Caves. Koko’s is ideal for some navigation work for Erica, our newest Advanced Open Water student, who was working today on Advanced Nav, and Peak Performance Buoyancy. Also, the ease of the site allows […]
Friday – Marney and I gear up with the Schuhmanns, The Sorensons, and the Pruitts, and we all go diving. Also in cast are the Sellmans, of which Stefan is doing his last dives to become Open Water Certified! Congratulations Stefan! They’re here on their honeymoon from Sweden, and are great sports. In addition we […]
