South swell stirred things up on my side of the island, so I went to the west side and dove Kahekili Beach, aka Airport Beach (there’s no airport there anymore). Conditions were good, but there was not a whole lot to see/photograph. However if you were concerned, as I was, about the low numbers of […]
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 never disappoints. 2 Species I have not seen before today: Randall’s Puffer and Cloudy Goby. Both are said to be uncommon to be seen at scuba depths. So lucky me. 🙂 I also tried an experiment using only natural light, and setting white balance in camera. But I have to remind myself, as I […]
It was very surgy and low visibility today, so not may pictures.
Gotta love Ulua at sunset for macro
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
