For the final Niihau dive day, I went with Explore Kauai Scuba’s 6 pack boat. The company is owned and operated by Nick and Jessie, and it was by far the best charter to Niihau; it was the shortest trip, due to leaving out of Waimea’s harbor, and it Wass the most relaxed trip. Diving […]
With Sea Sports Divers again. Dive sites: Vertical Awareness, Anthony’s Okole, and Pyramid Point.
I did a solo shore divest Koloa Landing between Niihau days. Then the 3rd Niihau dive day was once again with Fathom Five Divers 6-pack boat. Dive sites were: Neon Cave, Vertical Awareness, and Pyramid Point.
2nd dive day at Niihau, this time with Sea Sports Divers. The dives were Vertical Awareness, Niihau Arches, and Neon Cave to Pyramid Point drift.
Finally, after 30 years in Hawaii, I am doing the Niihau dives off Lehua Rock. Since the crossing to Niihau is often not doable, I booked 5 charters with 3 different companies in the hopes of getting there at least once. We made it all 5 trips! And it was truly awe inspiring! Monk seals […]

Both operations were fantastic in their respective ways. Aggressor offered its usual full service expedition, and the staff […]
After a long flight, and 2 days of no diving due to foul weather, I finally got to do 8 dives over 4 days at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas with Epic Diving. The experience was awesome. Though I generally prefer “natural,” IOW unexpected and unprompted, encounters, being able to get this close and even […]

I recently returned from an amazing live-aboard dive trip to the Philippines with the Philippines Aggressor. The trip was excellent on every level. I will start this series with all of the above water shots: untouched and unedited, unlike my underwater pictures that I take a bit more seriously 🙂
