Fishing trip this morning. We tagged and released two Pacific Blue Marlin. A good time had by all!

Night dive at Golden Arches. We decided to do a regular night dive because our returning clients had all seen the mantas before. This dive was awesome!! My first time to do Golden Arches at night, here's all the cool stuff we saw: A Hawaiian Conger Eel, Cusk Eel, White Stripe Urchin Shrimp, octopus, huge Spiny Lobster, Sculpted Slipper Lobster, Regal Slipper Lobster, sleeping Star Eyed Parrotfish, and a sleeping, large, terminal phase Ringtail Wrasse sleeping in a crevasse under the arch amongst the cup corals. On the safety stop we found a cool Speckled Scorpion fish out cruising around.  The highlight for most of us was the Textile Cone out hunting... it was cruising and looking for something to kill with its harpoon extended far out in front! So awesome.
