June 26th, 2009

We went and hid from the south swell in Keahole Bay today. Great conditions at Hoover's and Sand Piper. (Wash Rock) On the way there we caught an Ono! It was about 30 lbs. There were Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins in the bay, and between dives everyone got to see them. On the dives we found: A baby Commerson's Frog Fish, a huge White Mouth Moray Eel, Teardrop Butterfly Fish, 4 Saddleback Butterfly Fish together! We also found the largest Cone Hermet Crab I've ever seen (maybe 3 inches) They are gorgeous with bright yellow and orange stripes. We found 2 big Spiny Lobsters. Sandpiper is a beautiful dive site with so many huge Antler corals, some of the nicest anywhere. On the way home, we caught another Ono!! about 20 lbs. With so much Ono... looks like I'm going to make my famous Civiche! A great day!
