Out with Island Style Diving of their “Advanced” diving day, but it wasn’t really “advanced.” Fun anyway and the crew is always great.

I joined my friend Jenna and her twin 11 year old daughters and her father on Maui Pacific Divers and took photos for them. I am only going to post the marine life pictures here as I will leave it to Jenna to decide which portraits they want to make public. Anyway, it was a […]

Another trip that had been on my bucket list for a long time is now complete. It was absolutely amazing. I did 36 dives over 10 days with Fish & Fins Palau and the Palau Aggressor II. Both operations were fantastic in their respective ways. Aggressor offered its usual full service expedition, and the staff […]

360 Maui Reef Scenes
I just uploaded a 10 minute 360 video to YouTube called “360 Maui Reef Scenes.” Basically a collection of 360 footage I took over 5 dives with the new Insta360 X4 8K 360 camera. Best viewed with a VR headset while seated in a swivel chair. Otherwise you can scroll around the 360 view with […]

Last Maui Dive before Palau!
At Ulua. Dive 1 went out to the St Anthony but only took 360 video (to be edited), dive 2 went out to Anthias Rock. Tomorrow is packing day, and Thursday it’s Honolulu > Guam > Palau. I board the Palau Aggressor on June 9th and return on the 16th. Before and after I will […]
Makena Landing again. Hoping to find the weight pocket I lost last dive. 🙂

Another Lined Butterflyfish! But this one was more cooperative.

Ulua on a Clear Day
Another day of incredible visibility off the shore. Makes wide angle photography so much easier. I include the Lined Butterflyfish shot not because it is a good shot (it isn’t) but because it is the first time I have seen one in Hawaii. There only other time was in Fiji ~ 23 years ago. They […]
Went to Mala Ramp in Lahaina Town today. It was an epic day with perfect visibility and more turtles than I have ever seen on one dive. I was joined by my Friend Kim, so lots of portraits. Also throwing in a couple from yesterday’s dive:

Molokini Weekend
With a big south swell, all of the shoreline dive sites are brown, murky water with risky entrance and exit due to big waves. So taking a boat to Molokini was the only diving game in town this weekend, so I availed myself both days. Saturday: Sunday:

Molokini Inside
To my pleasant surprise, I woke up this morning to fair weather. I was expecting my boat trip with Island Style Diving to be cancelled due to the storm we had been hearing about. Fortunately it never materialized. They did however change destination to Molokini from the intended Carthaginian due to high risk of lousy […]
Another day of awesome conditions at Makena Landing. Some good critter finds, and some good luck shooting smaller critters with a wide angle lens.

Near perfect conditions today. 2 relaxing dives. And broke my personal record for longest dive on a single tank: 100 minutes.

Lana’i: Wash Rock & First Cathedrals
Dive Maui in Lahaina just started operating this week, only going out Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I decided it was my patriotic duty to take the day off work (a terrible hardship for me), buy a seat on Dive Maui’s excellent rigid-hull inflatable dive boat, and labor to do a couple of dives. What I […]
