Molokini Back Wall

Great day at Molokini with Island Style Diving. The owners, Javier and Christina, were at the helm today and they did a great job. Christina led the group I was in and she is great and always finds the cool stuff. The Naso Tangs seemed to be in some mating battles:

Ulua Nudibranch Afternoon

After a morning dive in which I took no pictures as I let my dive buddy, Lynette, use an essential piece of my camera housing as she had forgot hers. So to make up for it, I did a 2nd dive solo and broke my single tank time record: 1 hour & 43 minutes on […]

85’s & Wailea Point

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

Mala Ramp & Olowalu

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 […]

Palau: Arrival and Dive Day 1

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 […]
