NO WIND, NO RAIN ! 4 january

epic three tanker today, as surface conditions were perfect for heading around the corner and diving those spectacular drifts on the wall!  first stop is everyone’s favorite, Sea Cave!  great group of good divers today, as we dropped down and grouped up outside the cave, and then headed inside, spotting a huge green sea turtle […]

LAST DIVE TIL NEXT YEAR! 31 december

beautiful day today, with blue skies overhead and blue waters below.  captain neal headed the barge out to Koko Craters, where we tied up to the little buddha mooring.  nice mixed group of students and newly certified or out-of-practice divers, so koko craters, with it’s sandy bottom, is a great site to get that neutral […]

WORLD CLASS DIVING !! 29 dec

the Corsair airplane wreck for a first dive and then Sea Cave outside of Hanauma bay really are world class dives!  i’ve been all over, and both of these two dives are a real treat to do.  the Corsair dive had some current, so we had to work a bit, but the viz was very […]

GONE WITH THE WIND! 23 december

well, a bit windy today, but beneath the waves the diving was excellent!  the Landing Craft Unit (LCU) is the place to see sharks these days, which is, of course, what all divers want to see! so off we went with crew favorite captain sheila driving the Sea Hound.  current was a bit stiff, but we […]

SURGE IS NOT A GUY FROM EUROPE dec 20

surge is what we get when we have big waves, which only happens occasionally on the south shore of oahu.  the north shore is where the big storm waves from the Bering Sea hit the suddenly shallow reef, creating the famous monster waves of Pipeline and Waimea Bay.  so today we did have some sweet […]

DIVING VANCOUVER! 19 december

well, we had some Vancouverians diving with us today, and they were really enjoying diving in Hawaii!!  warm waters and great viz goes a long way in the dive world.  then throw in some sharks, turtles, and big eels, and you have a great dive or two! Jasveen wanted to see sharks, so off to […]

ANGIE’S LIST 16 december

blue skies are back, with strong trades, so bouncy on the surface but stupendous under!  Angie and son Julian were out today, and on her list was a shark or two!  so off to the Landing Craft Unit we went.  Captain sophie got us moored up, and we headed into the waves.  current was moderate, […]

WRECK WEEK FINALE !! 12 December

Wreck week flew by, as we had a blast traveling to various dive sites around Oahu that have the awesome wrecks.  today were two of the best sites for big animals also!!  LCU is rife with big whitetip sharks and eagle rays.  and they manage to appear at different parts of the dive so we […]

SMILING FACES !! 5 december bro!

lots of those today as finished up two sweet dives !  sunny blue skies above, and good viz below!  not our best visibility, but if you dive in Michigan every week, like big Mike does, then water with 100 foot visibility can be scary good!  plus warm!!  also out for some fun were Kristi and […]
