Combat death dive from HELL!

[Wildcard]

OK, it wasen't that bad but what a mess! Lanai lookout and the blowhole today.. You can tell the locals fish there. Tons of beer bottels and trash all over, piles of broke off fishing line and literaly tons of lead sinkers. I thnk we should plan a clean up dive. One poor turtle had swallowed a hook with a steel leader hanging out of it's mouth. A slow death awaits it.
So what do y'all say, wanna take a boat out and do some cleaning?

I would LOVE to hop on this wagon.

...literaly tons of lead sinkers. I thnk we should plan a clean up dive.

yeah, surf was up today.. due to the revived trades and south-swell coming in.
'hope you try those dives again on better/calmer days.
december thru february are prime for those sites with way better viz..
and, you can hear whale-song the whole dive!

yes, there's gotta be a couple thousand pounds of lead down there.
i know some of the dive shops sponsor AWARE clean-up dives..
maybe we could get them to co-sponsor a day..
thing is.. we'd need lift bags to get all that weight outta there.

here's a pic of jimbo going through the bus-sized tunnel below the entry..

and here's one of the great canyon views you can see when the viz is usually over 100 feet..

yes...

you have to be really careful, all that junk is dangerous...monofilament, hooks,

how was the hike? (uh...distance and grade, please)

 

[VBlueV]

from the parking lot to the entry or from the exit..
it's about 75 to 100yds.
the grade is 30° to 45°.. but it's just like walking up stairs.

(but C.. with the water and scrapes/asphault in your knee..
pro'ly not recommended.. 'til you're mended =)

I have 2 50lbs bags, fill a bucket and send it up then fill another.

Catherine,
Never done Lanai Point? Awesome dive, best shore dive on Oahu if doable.
Yes, lots of garbage in there. I'd help pick up some garbage.......

I bet it is awsome, with vis and less surge and well, that would do it. Looking foreward to doing it again.

 

[KrisB]

I might be able to come help too... that sounds absolutely disgusting -- and the cleanups I've seen around here really haven't been as necessary as it sounds like that one is!

I would help do a clean up dive, but I have some serious doubts that I can manage the entry/exit.

Isn't this one of the shore dives that we coined as a "billy goat" dive in a thread sometime last year?
