always such a treat to see the rare and endangered Hawaii Monk Seal while diving! We have some great sites for diving with them 15 minutes from our dock, particularly Spitting Cave, as they seem to love the canyons and small caves that dot that site on the wall outside Hanauma bay. we also […]
The Corsair is such a popular airplane wreck dive in Hawaii. 10 minutes from our dock, it never fails to amaze and please the divers that make it down to the 107 foot deep dive site! Surrounded by garden eels and schools of colorful fish, and inhabited by large eels, lobsters, and octopus, there is plenty of […]
The Kahala barge is an excellent wreck for a easy penetration and swim-through. With large rectangles of deck removed, there is plenty of light inside and plenty of room for maneuvering. There is one area that is pitch black and it is still a mystery waiting to be discovered. I have seen white tip reef sharks, turtles, […]
Well it wasn’t a night dive so we didn’t actually see the moon but we certainly experienced what effect the moon has on ocean tides. Heading out to the Corsair airplane wreck, always a great dive, we discovered that the current was just too ripping to tie up and dive such a small site. It […]
Hanauma Bay is a world-famous marine preserve on Oahu. Known for its beautiful beach, reef, and huge numbers of friendly It is a fantastic shore dive! Even more spectacular are the points where the bay meets the real ocean. The east point we call Palea Point and it is a world-class dive site with breath-taking walls, […]
There are never enough sharks to see!! So many of our divers have never been in the water with a shark before and often are very apprehensive about it. It is double the fun to be able to show them their first shark and then have them truly enjoy the experience! The connection we humans […]
Hawaiian green sea turtles are true giants. At over 5 feet in length and up to a quarter ton, these big guys continually amaze and amuse our lucky divers with their size and demeanor. I smile frequently underwater while one of my divers stretches his arms as wide as he can after seeing his first huge turtle […]
Looking like giant caterpillar-worms the Spikey Sea Cucumber always gets some amazed looks by divers who have never seen one. At a foot of two in length they are reddish-brown in color, tubular in shape, and (my favorite part) covered in soft spikes! They don’t really do much spike-wise, well who knows how the soft spike […]
Great day for diving today as waves were moderate, the ocean was clear, and the sky was blue! The Corsair airplane sits at 107 feet of depth in Oahu’s clear blue water and it is always a crowd pleaser. The fuselage is still in one piece, although it is beginning to separate, and one of […]
Hawaii is such a pristine dive destination, due to being the most remote set of island on our Earth. The ocean is beautifully spectacular out here, being 1000’s of miles away from any continent. This being the case, we get to do some fantastic drift dives, as these remote islands often have strong currents as […]
