It just comes naturally…

Today on the Sea Fox, we had a large group of Discover SCUBA Divers, students finishing their Open Water, and SCUBA Refreshers. The conditions were spectacular as usual in Oahu, 60-80 ft viz at both Koko Craters and Pa’a’awa with mild surge and current.

A whole HOST of aquatic animals came to out to greet the new and refresher divers. Green Sea turtles, sergeant majors, trigger fish, puffer fish, giant green morays, devil scorpion fish, an expired 7-11 crab, and an octopus delighted the undersea heroes.

Into the night @ Baby Barge and Angler’s Reef

/in , /by

This evening, on the Sea Fox, we were joined by Fran and Danielle. Visiting on business, they were able to sneak away from the hustle and bustle and get in a couple of night dives. Having bought new dive lights the day before, they were anxious to embark on their first night dives.

Entering the water @ Baby Barge, the intrepid divers were met with moderate swells and current, but that wasn’t enough to deter them. Pulling themselves down the descent line yielded them the reward of not one, but TWO White Tip reef sharks elegantly swimming around the collapsed barge.

Circumnavigating the wreck shrimps and small crabs ducked away from the lights as they swept across the bottom. Before surfacing the adventurers happened across a whole sleeping group of turtles.

Angler’s Reef was host to a whole menagerie of colorful creatures. Several large slipper lobsters, Spanish Dancers, giant morays, sponge, and 7-11 crabs delighted the divers. What a great way to get into night diving. Congrats ladies!!!
