Eagle Rays and my 100th

[Shaka Doug]

Congratulations on your 100th dive! You know, tradition suggests you are supposed to do that one naked!

Cool shots of the eagle rays. I've been seeing them kind of frequently here on Maui lately. I hit my max of seven eagle rays at one time just last week at Makena Landing. It's really a thrill when you see them and they're cruising together like that. Good job on the photos! Thanks for sharing with us!

Here's a short clip I got of the rays from last week:

Congratulations on your 100th! And nice job on the pics - I love seeing Eagle Rays, but it's been one of the less common sights for me ... especially groups of them

Aloha, Tim

Must be my natural talents makin it look easy. Really, it feels like i have way more than that too. I dunno.

how many rays did you say you saw?

7 at first...then about 21 more showed up to join them to oust your record of 26 rays, but my camera ran out of batteries.

Plus one more at the LCU.

Here are some more pics from the dives. We did 3 but Bad Hat Harry had to duck after the second one. Last dive was at Black Rock Arch

Mahi is popular spot for them as you can see! Especially when the current is up.

Thanks Harry! At least someone cares ;-)

If you can skip out on work tomorrow we are diving Hawaii Kai area. Maybe Palea Point if conditions are good.
