Fantastic Fantasy 5/11

On this peachy keen Saturday morning we departed with the idea to dive Big Barge, Kahala barge. Hopping in the water to tie up Flora informed the group of the incredible site conditions no current with 100+ visibility. With the slack current I indulged in trying something new taking a group of divers to the […]

The Grand Night Life 05/06

On this warm summer night, we were delighted to start our dusk dive with Kahala Barge, or Big Barge. Down at the wreck Nick and Carl and I were able to enjoy a quick peak inside the wreck exiting from a rooftop hole. After 25 minute dive at the Barge we started to make our […]

Ohhh Barracuda 4/30

On this pleasant Hawaiian morning, we took off with high spirits and many thoughts about where to dive. We had some requests for the Corsair but with one jumping on just out of her open water class I did not feel that we needed to go to the deepest wreck that we have in this […]

3 tanks of pure joy 4/27

On this rainy and laid back Sunday morning we were in debate on where to dive. After long thought we decided on Kahala Barge or Big Barge. After jumping in for the line and seeing the current was too strong I decided that we should drift the barges. Courtesy of Captain Joe we were dropped […]

Open water training day 4/20

On this beautiful Easter Sunday we had 6 marvelous open water students and a more than outstanding refresher. Kai, Chun, Tatjuna, Kitzy, Alexander and Daniel all participated in open water training today and nailed it I couldn’t have asked for a group of better listeners and better communicators than these guys. I am proud to […]

Extreme diving! 4/16

On this wonderful Hawaiian morning, we had the pleasure of the Corsair. We jumped in the water around 9 am exactly taking our day off to a strong start. We descended on the Corsair enjoying the 100+ visibility. After about 12 minutes on the bottom I spotted a crocodile snake eel! Extraordinaire just buried in […]

Turning heads and Taking Names 4/9/14

Today was an excellent day of diving I started out in the pool this morning with two refreshers and a Discover Scuba diver.

Pa’awa glory 4/5/2014

On this bright Hawaiian day we departed the dock a half hour late at 13:00 with three open water students all ready and excited to go! We arrived at Pa’awa at 13:10 and got in the water right after tying up, and started our underwater adventure we had a slight delay and some ear trouble […]

Whale Watch Isn’t Over Yet!4/4/14

It is towards the end of the season but we are still seeing lots of Whales! We departed on time at 16:30 making our way out in to Maunalua Bay. We started out strong heading towards Spitting caves where we got a wet and wild ride! All the buoy goers were quite enjoying the ride […]
