So I did the first dive this weekend with the usual crew, but elected not to do the second dive, I had errands to run in Kona. For the second dive the guys dove the can at Honokohau... 1GVnBmyD5xI

I put this together some time ago, and just spent a while updating it. This Google map has my notes on my favorite North Kona and South Kohala dive sites. I mean notes! Where to park, where to enter, where to swim once you are in the water. There are a few boat sites listed, but the info is...

A great video of divers freeing a bottlenose dolphin from fishing line at the Kona manta dive site on the 11th. Dolphin Rescue Hawaii.mp4 - YouTube

Five days, a quick island hop to Oahu, our first time exploring the island. A major feature of the plan was a bit of diving. Oahu features a number of unique dives we can not experience on the Big Island, particularly the wrecks. Based on conversations on ScubaBoard I chose to book with...

Three days after we dove the site, a great white shark attacks a diver at the same site. The man was skin diving and spear fishing at O’oma, what the surfers call Pine Trees. The diver was not injured, the shark attempted to steal his catch and from the story might have escalated the...

Uh oh. Wife's birthday! What do I do? Present? How about a dive? Fortunately conditions looked to be quite good. High surf warnings were in effect for windward shores, while our leeward side was forecast for gentle conditions. And despite heavy rains recently, the visibility along the North...

So there is now an entire house somewhere in Kealakekua Bay. Apparently intact and fully furnished. The only real question is what depth it is going to sink in. Wreck dive anyone? Hawaii Tribune-Herald :: Hilo, Hawaii > Local News

Whatever excuse you need to go diving! One of our fellow Keck crew left us a few months back to go work for a electronics start-up company in California. Since he was going to be back on-island for a few days we decided to celebrate properly, somewhere, underwater, off the Kohala coast...

My first Humpback sighting of the season, a full breach 200yds off the bow of the dive boat! There was a commotion on the bow and someone said whales. Just as I joined the crowd foreward the whale came out of the water for a classic breach! What a way to start whale season. A trio of two...

Having some fun with the video editing software and some of my better diving photos from the last couple years. I put his vid together a year or so back, but just finished completely re-doing it with new shots, and in proper 720p HD format. On The Reef

Nooo! It has been weeks and weeks since I have been in the water! This intolerable situation must be fixed! The realization was not welcome, but the solution was very nice... A Sunday dive at Mahukona. We joined the usual crew under perfect weather at one of our favorite dive sites. Thomas...

Once again into the dark water. Deb and I are continuing our advanced certification dives, this time with a night dive off of Puako. Meet the boat and crew from Blue Wilderness Diving at the Puako boat launch at sunset to voyage onto a darkening sea. Dive writeup with more photos over at my...

I suppose a first post is in order. Looking for a decent scuba forum and this seems to be it, will poke around and see how good the community is. I live in Kohala, Big Island, Hawai'i, just up the hill from Puako and the great reefs of the Kohala coast. I qualified when I lived in...
