A pleasant day on Oahu for scuba diving, we made our way out of Maunalua Bay heading west towards diamond head. The LCU (Landing Craft Utility) is a wreck sunk for diving purposes it sits in 98ft of water. The LCU flipped in the process of being sunk so the deck of the vessel creates an overhead environment, where white tip reef sharks hide from the current. We were lucky enough to see some white tips today at LCU along with 4 white spotted eagle rays! Sarah our European friend was thrilled to see the rays and sharks. Her dive buddy Ben was diving on our Enriched Air today and was able to reap the benefits with more bottom time today as we did a second deep site. Keanu Reef, reaching 75ft at it’s deepest one of my favorite reef sites. We saw an incredible frog fish which one of our favorite instructors David pointed out for us. Christine was extremely pleased to get a photo of the frog fish accompanied by Brian, these two were an absolute joy to have out on the boat and they knew an old friend of our Captain Joe! Hope to see you guys again soon! We also had another white tip reef shark and viper moray eel. I can’t forget our wreck and drift student Joe, learning from the best (David) hope you had fun today out on the water! I look forward to seeing you again Ben I know you come out with us quite often and it is always nice to see a familiar face! Hope everyone had as much fun as I always do 🙂 Thank you for diving with us and I hope you all do again soon.
