Another beautiful day on the North Shore. Pupukea was pretty crowded with divers today, good to see lots of folks out enjoying the day.
Visibility was about 50-80ft, some surge every now and then kicking up the sand.
Water temps were 73F 1st dive and a brisk 75F for the 2d dive.
I dove in my 3mm w/lycra hood and my wife dove in her 5mm w/lycra hood.
I got a little cold on the second dive but my wife said she was toasty, maybe I need a 5mm.
Anyway, saw some nice nudibranchs, eels, and the resident turtles as well. I don't know why, but today I just couldn't seem to find the sweet-spot while focusing on some of the nudi's. Guess that means I gotta go back next week and try again!
Snowflake Moray
Sphinx Phyllidia
Slipper Lobster
White-Margin nudibranch
Clumpy Nudibranch
7-11 Crab
Tom Smith's Nudibranch
All photo's taken with a Sea and Sea Dx8000g and (2) Sea and Sea YS-110 strobes.
Hope you all enjoyed the short report and pictures.
