Friday – Big waves make today’s diving a so-so proposition, but we went out to the deep water where the diving is always good. The first stop was the Kahala Barge. On the boat was Colleen, Robb, Shelby, Brooke, Erica, Louisa, Tyler, and Matt. The current at Kahala wasn’t bad, and we did a ton of exploring inside the wreck; it’s an excellent place for swim throughs. From there we went over to Fantasea reef, where we were a little bit late jumping off the boat and almost swam too far to the south and missed it. But we finally got going the right direction and saw a bunch of turtles, some eels, an eagle ray, and a horned helmet snail. All in all it was a weird day as there was big surf and it ran the gamut from rain to sun, but altogether an enjoyable one. Stay safe all, we’ll see you next time.
