Dark Side Diving...... Oahu's first Pelagic Night Dive

[scottitheduck]

Aloha Ohana!

Over the past few months we have been working to develop what we think is something completely unique. Pelagic Night Diving on Oahu.

Some of you have done the dives in Kona and have been blown away by the critters that are seemingly transparent and the amazing underwater laser light show that ensues. We have these very same critters here on Oahu!

Kaimana Divers is pumped to offer our Dark Side Dive every Saturday Night.

Please come and visit our site at Dark Side Oahu to get a better idea of what this amazing underwater experience is like. Feel free to PM me for more details or join our Facebook Group for updated photos and videos from the Dark Side!

Looking forward to meeting you all out in the black sometime soon......

This is a dive that's totally worth it! I participated a few weeks ago and am happy to say I saw plenty of things that blew my mind! If you're up for some adventurous diving, sign up with KD for a great night dive like no other you'll see on this island!

We have had some pretty incredible dives so far. If you are coming to Oahu and want something a little different, you HAVE to give pelagic night diving a try.

I just went on this dive this past weekend. It was AWESOME! I'd strongly recommend it for anyone coming to the island. And, before the dive, you get to see a pretty cool sunset and a large part of the leeward coast.

I did this dive off the Big Island -- it's absolutely worth it. This daily migration of creatures from the deep to the shallow water is one of the biggest migrations on earth. The strangeness and beauty of the animals you see on these dives is utterly memorable. Highly recommended!

Sweet dive last night! The ocean was full of everything from larval cowfish to salps and shrimp, but the real show stoppers were the seahorses!






I believe this is a salp oozoid with eegs.


Scyphozoan


Polychaete


Larval Stenopus hispidus
