Hawaii Kai diving adventure with Captin Joe aboard the Nori-Z today.
Dive site One - Corsair Airplane wreck - Viz great 70' - No current and lots of garden eels oout today! A huge moray was in the pilot seat when Sandi tried to get in, almost another war wound!
Dive site two - Turtle canyon - Viz great 60' - A few turtles as expected and lots of small parrot fish, eels, but no octopus to play with today!
Oahu - the "gathering place" - is our home of world-class SCUBA diving. From a SCUBA diver's perspective, Oahu has 4 distinct regions - North Shore, West Shore, South Shore and the Southeast Shore. Each region offers a different dive experience and has its own unique character. As such, each offers a different dive experience.
Southeast Shore
Corsair AirplaneThe only wreck that was not intentionally sunk as an artificial reef, the corsair was ditched by its pilot during WWII as it ran out of fuel. The aircraft is in remarkable condition and even has an intact glass face on one of the cockpit gauges. The plane sits in 107 feet of water and is the only site where we have seen the elusive garden eels.
Fantasy ReefThis reef system offers ample opportunity to photograph the green sea turtles and the many octopus that inhabit the reef. There are several swim throughs on this site and it is an excellent area to find 'sea biscuits' which are the tests of urchins. Maximum depth is 50 feet.
Baby Barge At this dive site you can combine wreck and reef diving. You can expect to see the green sea turtles as well as the friendly white tip reef sharks. Maximum depth is 85 feet.
LST WreckThe LST is an exciting wreck dive which allows for easy wreck penetration. It is 110 feet long and sits in 95 feet of water
Portlock WallThe wall provides the setting for some of the most exciting drift diving on the island. There are caverns to explore and caves to visit. The maximum depth is 90 feet, but most dives are done between 40 and 60 feet.
Sea CaveThe Sea Cave is an exciting cave dive located between Portlock Wall and Paliea Point. The mouth of the cave is located in 55 feet of water and the cave extends inward approximately 150 feet. You can expect to see white-tip reef sharks and sea turtles as well as many different types of shells and reef fish.
Paliea PointThis site is not always available due to the water conditions. When it is conducive to safe diving it is one of the most beautiful dive sites in the world. Maximum depth is 90 feet.
