Today JB and I helped AAA diving with a big group of interns from Tripler giving scuba a go! Great job fellas, you all seem like you have diving in your futures. A very portable hobby/sport no matter where you end up at all those conferences you will be attending over the years!
Nautilus Reef had wonderful viz today and Col Tim Howard blessed us all with his presence and wit. Nice to have somebody who can keep Alex in check. Our first dive, Sea Tiger did not disappoint with 100 ft viz! The same old sleepy turtle had his neck crooked through the railing and did not respond to my kisses on his beak. Kirsten and son Jordi rounded out a good group and the dive was a welcome one for us as it was our first since returning from Indonesia, to our own backyard.
Maybe you kamaina have seen the 42 ft sailboat beached off Nautilus Reef. So sad! We were guessing that maybe his anchor dragged. A very beautiful day on the water, cannot wait to take our boat out tomorrow for maiden voyage # 2. So far JB gets an A+ on docking in a pretty tight inside slip. I called Devon of Aquazone and apologized in advance, for hitting his new props. He says if he drops them in the water we will have two more feet! So far, so good, keep your fingers crossed for us!
Boat traffic and Intro divers continue to concern me. Another dive operator zoomed in over some new divers who were at about 15 feet and scared me. Then, he zoomed out the same way and almost took another head off.
Divers, LISTEN for boat engines please, please. Captains and everyone please spread the word to motor into the sites slowly and give divers a little time to respond by dropping deeper, etc. This problem could give us all a very bad day.
