After a spell of bad weather and dirty water, the shoreline was dive-able again today.

2-tank Molokini dive today with Island Style Diving. Always fun. Shooting wide angle to prep for Bahamas. 🙂

Playing with a new toy underwater this weekend, so did not take many pictures, but here’s what I got:

Why not start the new year the same way I ended the last year? I can actually think of many reasons not to, but I did it anyway. 🙂 I returned to the same dive plan as yesterday, except today I will only use the AOI wide angle lens only. And today I found the […]

With the recently confirmed Tiger Beach dives in the Bahamas this coming February, I need to make sure I have a decent wide-angle option for an external wet lens. I already own two lenses, but did not have luck with either previously, at least with the Divevolk housing. I have a Divevolk 67mm wide angle […]

I went out with Provider today for the first time (with the latest owners). It was supposed to be an “advanced adventure day,” but due to weather and a couple of divers not being advanced, we did 3 simple dives, 2 inside Molokini Crater, max depths 65 feet, and then a 5 caves north finger […]

As any one who knows me knows, I don’t celebrate Christmas beyond availing myself of the paid time off, which is always appreciated. Thank you Jesus, you mythical love god you! In any case, despite not celebrating Christmas, and despite having been naughty all year long (just ask my wife), I was given incredible gifts […]

For my sweet sixty-n birthday I went out with Maui Pacific Divers for a 3 tank dive with my dear friend Lynette. We dove Aloha Reef, Triple Anchors, and Helldiver. It was an awesome day. And of course there are pictures, though not your typical birthday pictures. You will not see hide nor hair of […]

Had such a good dive last week at Ulua for sunset, why not do it again? And it did not disappoint.

Last minute sunset dive at Ulua delighted with lots of nudibranch sightings.

This covers 4 dives: Halloween night dive, Keawakapu to the St Anthony, Polo beach, and Ulua night dive. For the Halloween night dive, I was experimenting with a wide angle lens and it does not work well with this housing. I couldn’t get really clear focus with it at all, but some of the shots […]

Pictures are from today, video is from last weekend. On the way back from the St Anthony last weekend, I found this tiny yet very lively antler coral head in the middle of the halimeda grass. Of course I did not have my camera, as it was the third dive of the day and the […]

Enjoy the photos.

Keeping this brief due to an injury to my right arm and hand making it painful to type with my right hand. Enjoy the photos.

New things I haven’t seen or gotten a picture of before: Warty Sea Cucumber, Sphinx Phyllidia, Crowned Toby, and Reticulated Brittle Star.
