My niece Sonia is visiting from Spain, so I signed her up for an introductory dive. We did two dives at Ulua and she did fantastic! Thanks to the excellent instruction and guidance of Andie Cox with Maui Dreams Dive Co.

Island Style Holo Holo Dive day
The non-molo Holo Holo Dive Day went to Triple Anchors and Z-Blocks today. Some new sightings for me, or newly photographed, noted by having the scientific name in the caption.
Kealia Pond
Only south facing shores dividable today, so the Pond it is!
Ulua Night
Maluaka and Makena
Dove with nudibranch nerd Rebecca today. Very fun! Learning all the nudi lore. And 4 new species seen/photographed today! New species have the scientific as well as common name in the caption.

TripleHellUlua
That was my 3 dive day today. Went on Maui Diamond II to Triple Anchors and Helldiver, and then I went by myself from the shore off Ulua Beach. Great conditions 1st 2 dives, shitty conditions from the shore, as it has been all week… but at least today was dive-able; 5-15 feet of visibility, […]
Kealia Pond x 2
It was the only dividable site in town today. Haunting video of Conspicuous Sea Cucumber and the Whitetip Aeolid

Molokini and Red Hill
Weekend Photo Dump: Makena x 4
Spotted Eagle Ray: I’m sure you’ve seen a car chase, probably a boat chase or a ski chase, but have you ever seen a Devil Scorpionfish chase? It’s a new one for me.
Ulua x 2 at Sunset
Kealia Pond & Ulua
It was a day for fantastic conditions. First dive at Kealia Pond, I joined a local nudibranch expert and her wife and it was amazing. They have a great eye for the tiniest sea slugs, many of which were too small for me to even try to take a picture. I am including some that […]
Makena x 2: Sunset and Morning
Great dives with lots of subjects, large, medium and small. Even some extra medium.
Lana’i: Menpache Caves
Well, we did 2 dives at Lana’i but was having lens issues in the 1st dive so I only have pictures from the 2nd. There first dive was relatively uneventful until the end of the dive when about 200 Spinner Dolphins went swimming by. Tried to video them, but they were far off and the […]

Sunday Dives: Kealia & Ulua
First dive at Kealia Pond with Donna. My mission was to find a sea horse, but that failed. We did, however get encircled by a school of Bluefin Trevally which was very cool. Second dive was at Ulua. My mission was to find the Elegant Sap-sucking Slug again to get better pictures. That was a […]
Keawakapu Deep
Found the deep reef in 110 feet today that I had been meaning to get to. There was a nice spot with bigger than normal fish populations for Maui these days. It was refreshing. As it was an exploratory dive, I wanted to travel light since as I had two scooters; so I only took […]
