Hale O Honu, Kauai
If you want to see Turtles this is the sight for you! Local divers refer to the "Turtle cleaning station" where the turtles hang out while the fish nibble on them. Max depth was 61 feet, average was 38 feet. Visibility was 20+ feet. Water temp was 75 degrees F, a bit cool without a wet suit. Saw Lion fish, Lizard fish, Starfish, Banded Angel fish (endemic to this area) beautiful! Also found two types of Frog fish, several Nudibranches and a white tip shark was hiding under a ledge. Overall a great dive site lots of variety of aquatic life to see, ... Show More Mar. 24, 2018

Camp 1, Kauai
Max depth was 60 feet with average about 38 feet. Visibility was 20+ feet. Water temp was 74 degrees F. I wore double rash guard but most divers wore wet suits. Could hear whale song while we dove. Lots of crevices with a moray eel hiding in each one! Saw several eels free swimming between coral heads. Large Moorish Idols, freckled Hog fish and schools of Sargeant Majors. First time seeing a Longnose Hawkfish hiding out in black coral, as well as Nudibranches amazing color on these tiny little creatures. Dive highlight was seeing a frog fish, odd creatures and hard to see.... Show More Mar. 24, 2018

Bubbles Below Scuba Charters, Kauai
Went on 4 boat dives with Bubbles Below. The Dive masters were very knowledgeable about the dive area and underwater species. Very Eco friendly and stressed the importance of preserving dive sites. Captain Clay was friendly and did everything he could to make our experience the best it could be. Would definitely recommend his shop and dive masters. Small group of 8 to 10 divers plus 2 DM's. Received a very thorough dive site briefing and what types of fish we were likely to see on the dive. Relaxed pace under water, Dm's had a write board so they could tell you the name of what you were looking at, that was a nice bonus. ... Show More Mar. 24, 2018

Captain Keith Tibbetts - shore dive, Cayman Brac
Swam out on the surface (not for beginners) look for the buoys, then dropped down wanted to save air for the dive! Visibility was excellent, my max depth was 73 feet. Lots of coral growing on the ships surface. Saw a pair of Grey Angel. You need to dive this site more than once to see it all. Watch your navigation heading back to shore, there is a flag pole on shore marking the entrance.... Show More Jan. 21, 2018

Handcuff Reef, Cayman Brac
Stairs to get in and out from, large "pool" area to get your group organized to go out. Saw an octopus while we were getting set. This is where the police launch their boat from so be aware when entering and exiting. Water was 86 degrees F, dove with just a rash guard. Saw Rock Beauty, File and Burr Fish. Swim over the hard pan and there is a great Coral Head with lots of fish and plant life.... Show More Jan. 21, 2018
