St Anthony from Mokapu to Ulua

First two-tank shore dive in the Mazda Miata MX-5 today. Tight fit. Frustrated by my failed attempt to get to the St Anthony yesterday, I tried again today. And I found it, but it took a bit of searching again. It would be so much easier on a clear water day. Every attempt thus far […]

Mokapu and Ulua

Today I just wanted to get wet and spend as much time underwater on one dive as I could. And I got my SAC (Surface air consumption) down to .43 cu. ft./min. So my plan was just to cruise with the scooter, try to make it to the St. Anthony again, don’t worry about pictures, […]

Lana’i Double Cathedrals

Went out with the Maui Diamond II again this weekend, this time to Lana’i where we had the rare pleasure of diving 1st Cathedrals followed by the sequel: 2nd Cathedrals.

Ulua Beach – March 2, 2023

Just did a quick after work dive to Ulua Beach, mainly to try out some new gear configurations, but I did spot two unusual animals: the Jeweled Anemone Crab and a Knobby Sea Star. I used the Micro3.0 camera with wide angle dome lens and the SeaDragon 5000+ light handheld.
