    So you think you've found a bomb, do you bring it up and give it to the lifeguards?

    I'm opening up a new dive shop in March...

    Just a head's up... I've been running a dive charter here in Kona called Wanna Dive for several years. It's a six pack boat, I carrying 2-6 customers total on the boat. The last couple of years we've been doing about 300 charters a year, I'm looking to bump that up. I'm putting a shop...

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Today's dives... flame wrasses, flame angels, curious wormfish, divided flatworms, nudibranches, octopus, tiger moray, baby dragon wrasse... lots more. It was a nice day of diving in Kona. The last couple of nights have been thunderstorming, but the days have been nice. Thunderstorming again...

    A litle video from last night's dive....

    10772581 http://vimeo.com/10772581 The manta dive was hopping. Had this for 48 minutes then did a 15 minute tour of the reef on the way back to the boat, to find a couple of them circling the ladder. Fun. Aloha, Steve

    Multi-day discounts in Kona diving with Wanna Dive...

    Aloha, I thought I'd post some blatant spam. I own Wanna Dive, a 6 pack dive operation on the Big Island running out of Kailua-Kona. Our regular price for the standard 2 tank day dive is currently $119, kinda right in the middle of the pack for dive operators here, the 2 tank late...

    Man have we been hearing whales on the dives...

    9453696 Hopefully this works.. I hadn't had a camera in hand since about October and my wife let me try her 4 year old A620 yesterday. Won't win any awards for cinematography, I literally had the video on for 1 min 43 seconds during a short surface interval Captain's dive and it was surgey...

    The bachelorette, last episode had clips from other islands inserted?

    OK, this is off the topic of diving.... My wife and I both thought they inserted several non-Big Island clips into scenes that were supposedly from the Big Island. Specifically, after Kipton was sent home, the limo drove past a short pali and a beach next to the highway. East Maui or Kauai...

    Squid video from Kona a while back....

    I've posted a few squid pictures, here's a short video clip that gives you a good idea of their size. It's really cool how they can change colors in a flash. zeXdOIhcv1A&hl=en&fs=1 Later,

    I thought this guy's cute... Reticulated Frog...

    The face looks more like a rock or coraline algae encrusted opihi, the rest of the body resembles a Penniform cone. They seem to hang out inside elkhorn corals. I didn't even know these things existed a couple years ago 'til I heard about them. Finally looked up a picture and have seen a...

    For those going to '08 DEMA... already made some basic plans?

    Just curious as to how many of those who go to DEMA plan early or just do it last thing. What with gas and airlines going out of business or cost cutting and such, travelling seems to get spendier by the week. I started to pester my wife about us getting air tix back in Febuary when we could...

    Took a nudibranch photo today...

    ... And though I'd share it. I posted a pic of 3 of these on the sand about this time last year. I didn't have the camera setup for a closeup at the time. I took this with my G9 with a pair of Inon closeup lenses. These guys are small... take a dime out of your pocket, look at Roosevelt's...
