[VBlueV]

well.. everyone went to haleiwa trench sunday..

but bcyber dave didn't feel like kickin' across the trench over all the tiger sharks.. :11:

so.. we launched his new boat, the emmylou, on her maiden voyage..

here's a link to my pics..

anyways.. we decided to take baby steps with the emmylou.. so, for the first dive, we just moored to the second reef on the other side of haleiwa trench.. great coral formations out there.. and some new fish i haven't seen at other sites around the island..

the second dive was the highlight! LOBSTER HOLE!
best dive i've done this month!
great viz! awesome wall! and cool cove!
[it's just a couple miles from haleiwa trench]

here's a pic of me just before we descended over the wall..

and here we're shootin' into lobster hole..

a big mahalo to dave and the emmylou.. great dives!

Nice picks VblueV. We dove there on Sunday also. I think we saw you out there. We went into the water at approx 0950 for our first dive. Didn't get as many pics as you guys did, but saw a lot of Hydroids as well as 11 turtles at the cleaning station. Our goal was to test the depths and explore the bottom of the wall along the inner reef. Lots of cool stuff down there, and you can reach over 100fsw in the trench.

yeah jay..
i think we saw y'all entering the water.. then later on draggin' a marker/dive-flag?
we saw the flag way off to the west of the entry.. was that you?

i hit 99fsw in the trench last year..
had to swim down the sandy slope.. and dig my computer into the sand

when sherm gets back we should take the RUBBER DUCKY II and the EMMYLOU out as a two-ship.. out to LOBSTER HOLE.. awesome site!!!
