I think I can speak for everyone aboard when I say we had a blast on our Lehua rock dive trip!
We had an all star crew, and a boat full of competent divers. Really though, a dozen friends on a boat all day–whats not to like? Well, except for the fact that we all want to do it again A.S.A.P.!

Three tanks of NITROX was not enough to explore all the ocean wonders Lehua has to offer. (I don’t think 300 tanks would be enough.)
There was an abundance of sea life, cliffs and ledges that dropped into the seemingly bottomless abyss, a 200 ft. visibility, and more caves and lava tubes than we knew what to do with. We were able to drop almost immediately to 130 ft. (something you can’t really do on Kauai). It was a perfect time for a group picture!

My D700 was in the water housing the whole day. All of the above-water pictures were shot with my infrared converted D70. From where I was standing, it kinda gave the whole day a “Wizard of Oz” feel.

Welcome to our journey and enjoy!!! ….I know we did.

My recent birthday trip to the big island was amazing! We saw many things I will never forget. From the near top of the world to the depths of the sea, it was filled with adventure.

It’s not often enough that one gets to share the creation of lifelong memories with a handful of good friends. This was one of those trips that reminds me not to ever pass up the chance of a good adventure.

For the lucky ones who were there, and for those of you who were not able to make it to the Big Island with the 7 of us, I’d like to share with you some of the highlights of the trip.

Thank you and enjoy!
