Why do we keep going to Nai'a Bay, when we have so many dive sites to choose from?? Well, we heard it yet again today from the excited divers after the dive... "That was the best dive we've ever done!" We saw 3 Manta Rays getting cleaned by the Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasses. They we're doing slow circles over the reef as the fish swam up to greet and clean them. Since we didn't spook them we we're able to sit and watch for 10 minutes! Then we saw a White Tip Reef Shark, a green Sea Turtle, octopus and a Frog Fish. At Pyramid Pinnacle we saw Red Stripe Pipefish, A Viper Moray Eel, a Divided Flatworm and a huge Porcupine Puffer swam over to check us out! (strange behavior for the usually shy puffer) No night dive tonight, so we celebrated our fun day with apres dive beers at the Kona Brewing Company. Cheers!
