Another epic dive at Makena Landing. No, no Monk Seal so maybe not that epic. I met up with a couple of new dive buddies early at Makena, which is always nice to avoid the parking crush. Mostly all the usual suspects as far as critters go, but it was just a nice, calm, long […]
I went up to Honolua Bay to dive today for the first time in well over a decade. Honolua Bay has been a marine preserve for as long as I have been on island (March 1995), so the fish populations and reef health were very good. The long jungle walk from the parking area wasn’t […]
For my first night dive at Mala Ramp, I joined Maui Mantas Kimberly and Donna, who I dove with the day before on Island Style Diving to Molokini and Aloha reef. It was awesome, as night dives always are. Spotted a couple of cool new critters and some old faithfuls (turtles, sharks). Also as always […]
First dive to Kealia. I have heard this is the place to find Sea Horses, but no luck today. It is a shallow dive with only small patches of reef. Mostly rock and sea grass. Still found some cool things, though. I hope you enjoy!
Went out today with Island Style Diving and it was epic! First stop, Molokini Reef’s End. All the usual suspects fish wise, but right when the group was turning… just beyond… was a school of baby Gray Reef Sharks. I wanted to swim out to them, but the divemaster was signaling me to return to […]
Quick jaunt to Makena Landing and a lucky spot of the rare Hawaiian Red Lionfish.
Posting a day late. Yesterday was a weird day. 🙂 I did 2 dives, but have no pictures from the first one, which was my first dive from Cove Beach Park to Aloha Reef. It is shallow for a long way out and is a popular surf spot, so not the best entry/exit, but it […]
I was supposed to go out with Island Style Diving’s boat, the Pilikai, this morning but a fuel pump was out, so they had to cancel. So I grabbed a tank and my scooter and decided to try to make it to the St. Anthony from Keawakapu Beach again. Last time, I couldn’t find the […]
This morning I joined some Maui Manta (Facebook group) members on a private dive charter on a new boat business that just started up in April. The boat, the Paikea IIRC, was built and is owned by Mikel and Maggie, Maui Pacific Divers. I love their story; Mikal put his name on the list for […]
Again ’nuff said.
‘Nuff said.
Today I got invited to join my friends Lynette and Cat as they took Cat’s daughter, Taylor, on her first dive. I also took the opportunity to try out the new Kraken iPhone housing that allows me to attach wet lenses, so I can shoot Macro and Wide angle in full 48 MP splendor. It […]
