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.

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.

Only south facing shores dividable today, so the Pond it is!

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.

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, […]

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 […]

Great dives with lots of subjects, large, medium and small. Even some extra medium.

Ornate Octopus foraging at half speed

Let the ocean wash the blues away… ironic, I know.

Ulua: Molokini: Nahuna Pt:

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 […]

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 […]
