Man what a sweet run we have had lately. Just this past weekend we boarded the boat in Wainae and headed out for a 3 tanker. Lots to see too with black coral and critters galore at Makua Ledge. Off to Stars for a drift dive and then over to Makaha Caverns for fun with turtles.

If you haven’t been out with us on the Westside yet, what are you waiting for….. we’ve got room this Sunday the 30th!

Here are some highlights from the past week. As always, join our group on Facebook by clicking the link below:

So, last nigh we had an epic night dive on the West Side of Oahu…… so much cool stuff too. Our dusk dive was at the Deep LCU where divers Matt, Jason, Adolph and Kingsley got to drop in on some amazing critters. Check out these frogfish:

Matt spotted an octopus too and even thought the visibility wasn’t the greatest we all maxed out our bottom time and headed back up just after the sun set. With an hour interval we chilled and chatted while the night took hold. Lots of stars and light wind helped pass the time and before you knew it we were tied up at the wreck of the Mahi. What an amazing spot for a night dive. Visibility was unreal and we saw so much cool stuff. Highlights include a sponge crab carrying a piece of the ship, several sleeping parrotfish and heaps of the usual damsels, butterflyfish and a really cool seastar…. check em out and see you in the blue, or black?

Wow,

It’s been an insane last week of diving. Tons of old friends stopping by to say ALOHA! Been diving a bit out on the Westside where we have checked out the wreck of the Mahi, Makaha Caverns and STARS. Lots of great critter encounters too with sharks, octopus, frogfish and dwarf morays.

Town wrecks have been good too with lots of turtles on the wrecks, eel a plenty and even little sharks! If you haven’t dived the wreck of the Seatiger or the YO-257 yet, you haven’t been to Oahu.

Finally the Corsair wreck has been pleasing divers for years here. This week we managed to see a broad stingray as well as an octopus and a turtle….. that never happens!

It feels like summer. It’s light earlier and stays light later. Water temps have bumped up a few degrees and now it’s official. Today we dived the famous North Shore of Oahu for the first time this season. Ask any diver who has been to Oahu. They will probably tell you that to dive Shark’s Cove is a must.

Zack, Rob and I had an Aloha Friday off so we decided to head up. We were greeted with no surf, flat surface condition, tons of sun and about the best visibility I have seen in my 5 years of diving the Cove. It always feels a little like homecoming to walk down the muddy path and past the sunbathers and snorklers. It also feels like we know something they don’t….. how cool the cove looks from underneath!

The dance of light and shadows began at 11:43 AM. We snaked our way through familiar caverns and took our time lining up shots with our cameras. Tons of schooling sailfin tang and convict tang joined the crew. A few good sized chub and parrotfish darted in and out of sunspots while a school of goatfish hung lazily in midwater. Next up was a small turtle basking in the mid-day sun. All total we logged 67 minutes underwater and came up just as the afternoon rush began! Tacos in Haleiwa and a few laughs then back to town for a weekend full of diving.

Another tough day at the office…… here’s some snaps from Tax Day to May Day including our adventure at Sharks Cove….

Let’s go diving!
