Working together

On a recent dive with a client, we were lucky enough to see a great example of marine life working together.
In this case, inside the cathedrals at 3 tables/firehouse on Oahu's north shore, we witnessed a Moray Eel, a Bluefin Trevaly, a Peacock Grouper and a Goatfish hunting the reef together. Most often we will will see one or the other feed together but this was great to see all 4 at once. Personally from my experience, the goatfish and grouper are just freeloading and do little to actually flush out the food. Check it out this little snippet!

Spinner Dolphin

Every summer while the ocean is flat, the resident pod of spinner dolphin are known to swim into the bay and frolick in the shallows for up to an hour. If you are fortunate enough you can grab your mask n fins and have a swim with some of the coolest animals on the planet.
I have lived here on Oahu for almost 5 yrs now and I cannot drive along the north shore without looking at every section of ocean I see...which is a lot! Despite the danger to my driving, this means if the dolphin are in the bay when I drive by, I will see them. Today was no different than anyother day except I wasn't on a time schedule. More often than not I just have shake it off as I drive to meet the clients...not today.
I will quit talking now and let the video speak for itself.....Man I love my job!

Just testing website link

This is a test the link to my website so I can see if it is working correctly, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the video.
This is a Conger eel shot on a night dive at Sharks Cove Oahu Hawaii 2007!

The Mahi

The Mahi is probably the most popular and one of the best dives on the west side. The wreck is a 176' minelayer that was sunk in 1986. It now lays upright in 90ft of water with the main deck at around 65ft. Visibility often exceeds 100ft and white-spotted eagle rays are often seen here. The wreck itself is coral encrusted and home to a wide variety of reef fish. Many holes and hatchways in the wreck make for great poking around and a dive light is a good addition to this dive.

Experience Kona After Dark

A must on any trip to the big island is the Manta Ray night dive.  A special MAHALO goes out to Phil, Stacy, John & Tasha...and lets not forget Jake & Garrett, A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Big Island Divers

Also on some evenings you can stay on the boat and go on the blackwater dive.
