Aloha,

Thanks for choosing to dive with Island Divers Hawai’i.  We had absolutely lovely conditions on the Fox today.  We had David and Robert joining us from Australia and Heinz and Chris joining us from Switzerland.  Our entire boat were a bunch of dog lovers so Cammie, my little scuba diving dog, was requested.  She came to provide puppy kisses and cuddles in between and before/after dives.  All of my men were great divers and eager to hop into the warm and clear Hawaiian waters.  Captain Jo and Max led our group out to our first site, LCU.  This wreck sits in about 90′ of water.  We enjoyed great underwater conditions today!  The sharks at back to cruising under the wreck so we had the opportunity to check out three white tips reef sharks, a large frog fish, a variety of eels, and a school of small ahi (tuna).  For dive #2 we headed over to our IDH favorite, Fantasy Reef.  This beautiful reef system in found in about 55′ of water.  We had a strong Koko Head current used it to our advantage!  Our team had a nice leisurely :50 dive.  We counted 11 turtles!!! That’s right, I said ELEVEN turtles!  The turtles were everywhere today.  We also found some beautiful eels, nudibranch, and reef fish.  Overall, it was a great day of diving.  Thanks again for choosing to dive with Island Divers Hawai’i.  Stop by one of our shops if you are interested in getting certified to go out and explore our beautiful underwater world!  Until next time, dive easy!

Aloha,

Amy
