First two-tank shore dive in the Mazda Miata MX-5 today. Tight fit. Frustrated by my failed attempt to get to the St Anthony yesterday, I tried again today. And I found it, but it took a bit of searching again. It would be so much easier on a clear water day. Every attempt thus far […]
Month: March 2023
Mokapu and Ulua
Today I just wanted to get wet and spend as much time underwater on one dive as I could. And I got my SAC (Surface air consumption) down to .43 cu. ft./min. So my plan was just to cruise with the scooter, try to make it to the St. Anthony again, don’t worry about pictures, […]
Lana’i Double Cathedrals
Went out with the Maui Diamond II again this weekend, this time to Lana’i where we had the rare pleasure of diving 1st Cathedrals followed by the sequel: 2nd Cathedrals. Just like the first, but with different twists and turns. SportDiver housing, iPhone 14 Pro, SeaDragon 2500 and 5000+ lights, etc., etc.
Molokini Clearwater Revival
I decided to go on a boat dive to Molokini today at the last minute (booked it yesterday) because I was jonesin’ for some crystal clear water, and the shoreline was mucked up again due to heavy rains and swell. Molokini did not disappoint, I am glad to say! I went out with Maui Dreams […]
St Anthony March 5, 2023
Another attempt to make it to the St Anthony wreck from shore, this time from Mokapu Beach. I still need to nail down the best heading; I found the wreck but I had to search for it a bit once I found the tire field. Much better fish populations here than on Ulua Reef. Also […]
Makena Landing – March 4, 2023
Decided to go on a late afternoon, pre-sunset dive at Makena Landing to get some bottom time this weekend. Had a nice long hour and ten minute dive, and the whales were singing their asses off! SportDiver Housing with 2500 and 5000+ lights.
Ulua Beach – March 2, 2023
Just did a quick after work dive to Ulua Beach, mainly to try out some new gear configurations, but I did spot two unusual animals: the Jeweled Anemone Crab and a Knobby Sea Star. I used the Micro3.0 camera with wide angle dome lens and the SeaDragon 5000+ light handheld.
