Gorgeous Day at Hanauma Bay

[ScubaAndDreams]

Myself, Jay and Tom decided to dive Hanauma Bay today on a mission. We succeeded in our goal (another story); but more importantly we had an awesome dive!

Here are some pictures of HB...what a gorgeous day. Our dive profile was something along the lines of ~2 hours with a maximum depth of deeper than 140'...

Pictures courtesy of Jay's new camera and are worth a thousand words....

My favorite pic is the MOF shaka! Sounds like a good long dive.

Can't wait...we are heading out tomorrow morning...

Looks pretty uncrowded...what time did you arrive there?

We plan on getting there right when they open to get parking and to attend our yearly briefing...

Are prices still the same?

$2 all day tram

$1/trip for the tank ($2 per round trip)?

It was a dive that I'll never forget. I do have to say thanks to Matt at IDH for saving the dive for me. Long story short, that's why I have the yellow fins.

Thanks for answering the questions.

Well...I'm off to Hanauma Bay myself...

those fins were "DIR yellow".. right?

j/k

btw.. i've seen that cable that falls down the slope to the depths..
but i didn't have the gas to follow it all the way down..

i'll go.. when y'all make a return to "the goal"..

next time I have dive gear on Oahu with me, Hanauma bay is one dive I'd like to try ...

and yeah, where'd you find yellow Jets? (they were jets right?)

btw - what is that cable for? I've seen it in other pics from HB just don't know it's significance.

Aloha, Tim

P.S. wonder how often they see drysuits on that beach?

Nope, they weren't jets.

As for the cable, it used to be a telephone cable between the islands. One leaves pretty much straight out and one veers off towards Maui.

Nice rig on your back there Sherm! Sure beats the "Mud" dive I did this weekend. After watching the guy I "Buddied" up with do 3 terminal velocity decents butt down from surface to mud, vis went from 10' ot 0". Cool looking Mushroom clouds...I finally finished the dive on my own, never finding the "GOAL" but saw lots of Beer Cans! PPB? what's that?
Sorry, just had to rant, oh well, at least I am getting wet again. Aloha, and keep havin' fun!

Tom, didn't Matt have some pinkies?
