Aloha,
Thanks for choosing to dive with Island Divers Hawaii.  This afternoon we held our annual Labor Day Club dive.  One of our divers referred to it as the “Party Boat.”  It honestly was a party boat today!  We had IDH regulars: Vanessa and Fred, Lew, Rill, Claire, Stacy, Andrew, Chris and Shadaya, and Heather and Robert.  We were all advanced divers and being in the festive mood we convinced our captain to take us on an adventure!!!! For the first time in my memory the Barge took on the Corsair!  Woohoo!!!!  We hit the water around 5:00 pm and had near perfect conditions.  The Navy F4 Corsair rests in about 108′.  We had a total dive time of :25.  We saw: garden eels, scorpion fish, moray eels, and beautiful schooling reef fish.  After we completed our dive we headed back to the shop for a great group BBQ.  Max fired up the grill ahead of time so the coals were hot and ready for our return.  Fred manned the grill with Claire and Lew as assistants.  The spread was plentiful and the company was great.  Overall, it was another fantastic afternoon of diving and eating with our IDH ohana.  Please watch out for news on our next club event coming up in October.  IDH will host our 7th annual underwater pumpkin carving!  Get those dive knifes ready!  Until next time, dive easy!

Aloha,
Amy
