Aloha,
Thanks for choosing to dive with Island Divers Hawai’i. We had a fantastic time showing you around Hawaii’s underwater world. Today we had a full boat of eager divers. We had Tammy and Lori joining us on their “stay”cation, James and Scott working on AOW certification, and Brian, John, Max, Kim, Fred, Wayne, Melissa, and Eric fun diving. It was a cozy boat! We had requests for sharks and turtles so we headed to Baby Barge for dive #1. This site has a max depth of 80′ and a max bottom time of :30. We had great viz and warm water! Woo hoo! Right at the start of the dive Larry found us an octopus to play with. Soon after we found a baby white tip reef shark and three sea turtles!!! So lucky! We all headed safely back to the boat after our tour and made our required safety stop. On the surface we enjoyed hot chocolate, tea, chocolate chip cookies, and Red Vines. After that we headed back into the water at Fantasy Reef. On this site we had a max depth of 63′ and a bottom time of :40. We again found octopus right way! Two this time!! We also saw TONS of turtles. I lost count after 10 sea turtles. We also saw some beautiful moray eels, and schooling reef fish. Overall, it was a great start of our Tuesday. Thanks again for choosing to dive with IDH. As always it is our pleasure to take you diving. Until next time, dive easy!
Aloha,
Amy
