    Going diving in Maui

    I'm pretty sure it's Mala Pier. I have done it from shore and seen boats dropping off divers there. There are lots of things to see there. You will enjoy Mala Pier.

    What's special about diving in Hawaii?

    Diving on Maui is very good. As mentioned above, Mala Pier is a good shore dive. The Backwall of Molokini is awesome! So is the Backside of Lanai and the Hammerhead dive at Molokai. On Kauai you can dive the Mana Crack on the Napili Coast. Also, they go to Ni'ihau. I haven't dove there yet, but...

    Molokini Backwall or Carthinigian Wreck?

    Backwall has SO much more to see. Tons of fish, nudis, lobster, sharks, and amazing structure. I didn't care for the Carthaginian. Not much to see, but one frog fish. You are doing my other 2 favorites: backside of Lanai and hammerhead. Plus, you'll be there with whales! I'm jealous.

    Maui. What's the one dive i NEED to hit.

    Mala is a nice shore dive site, but if I could only do one dive it would be the Backwall of Molokini. The sheer drop off and abundance of life makes it an incredible dive. I also did my deepest dive there with Ed Robinson. He told me about an endemic Angel fish that lives really deep there and...

    Are you diving in Albion Cove? I have only dove at Russian Gulch up north. That's where I met you and bought one of your backplates several years ago.

    Cayucos / Morro Bay buddy / DM April 5-8?

    Wow, when I dove with him it was $80 per person. There were 3 of us. I did a shore dive at Shell Beach with the owner of the Pismo Dive Shop. I don't think he's in business anymore. The visibility was terrible that day. Check with Slo Ocean Currents in San Luis Obispo. They do shore dives at...

    REEF SEEKERS - DECEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER

    Thank you for the additional information Ken. I will keep an eye on the board and hopefully we can come down to see the squid run. Staying for a few days sounds like a good plan too.

    REEF SEEKERS - DECEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER

    Ken, how often do you do the squid dives? My dive buddy and I would really like to see them. If you see them one week to you usually see them the next? We are in the central valley, so it's a 5 hour drive for us. Thanks

    Urchin cull approved for Monterey reef

    wnissen, Are you saying that all the volunteers had to sign up for the $300 urchin specialty training in order to remove or smash the urchins? That will eliminate most of us from participating in the Monterey area. I know that up north they did not have any paid training requirements. So I...

    Urchin cull approved for Monterey reef

    Hi Eric, How is the urchin smasher coming along? My son, a friend and I are looking forward to trying them out. We dove Pt. Lobos last week. There is still lots of kelp inside the cove, but further out the purple urchins are taking over. They need to have several urchin cull weeks there also...

    Casino point park: is the platform and glass bottom boat still there?

    We were just there and they are both still there. The glass bottom boat is almost straight out from the steps. I'd say about 2/3 of the way to the northern park buoys. If you head west from the glass bottom boat at about 55 ft you will run into the platform. It's almost to the western edge of...

    July Trip to Maui

    I have done several drift dives with Lahaina Divers. Molokini backwall, Lanai, and the hammerhead dives are all really good. I did some drift dives below Kehei with Ed Robinson that were good also.

    Basic Lake Tahoe Diving Questions

    I went last June with my dive buddy. We brought our own gear. We dive in dry suits. The water temp was 46 degrees. We went by the Tahoe Dive Center and talked to the owner the day we got there. He was very helpful. He showed us different dive sites and told us what to look for. Without his...

    I just saw a speared GSB from Catalina on Instagram

    That looks like an opaleye on a filet table to me.

    Maui - Lahaina Divers Questions

    If you want longer dive times, make sure to sign up for the advanced dive package. They don't limit your dive time. Every time I have dove with them I dove until I was low on air (50-60 min). LD advanced dives are great! Molokini backwall, Lania back side drift, Hammerhead dives, and any drift...

    How has Monterey changed in the last decade?

    What happened to it? Did they remove it or turn it off? I haven't been there in a while.
