Tuesday morning found us at Old Airport, a west facing beach. According to the dive reports the conditions were marginal. What we actually had was no waves and 100 ft visibility. There was a bit of a current going on, so what took 80 min to go north, took 20 min to get back. Definitely an E ticket ride. Saw a bunch of little stuff today, starting with a tiny yellow frogfish, a couple of eels, pillow stars, and lots of different juvenile fish. First we found the little frogfish. You can tell how tiny it is by comparing it to Connie's fingers in the picture. The two pictures are so different because Connie switched from sea mode to regular mode on her camera. The other fish is something we haven't seen and as close as we can tell from the fishbook, it is a Hawkfish. It was a great dive. The only complaint we have is how sandy we got getting out. We had sand in everything. Wetsuits, BC, booties, hair, bathing suits, everything. And it's the type of sand that wants to stick around, regardless of how many times you rinse the stuff.
After we ate out picnic lunch, we headed up to Honolua Bay and snorkeled for a couple of hours. Connie figured she may not get a chance to go again. We don't dive that site because it just seems to work snorkeling it.
We have four tanks in the car and can't wait to see where we decide to go tomorrow.
