We caught an Ono!! Yum... everyone got to take some home to enjoy! Thanks for reeling it in Scott, and thanks for cutting it up Danny! The highlights for today's dives were: We had a hunting party consisting of a dozen or so blue goatfish, blue fin travelle, a white mouth moray eel and a trumpet fish! They were zooming around, side by side, the eel would dive into a coral head and all the fish would cluster around waiting for a tasty snack to pop out. They'd go from coral head to coral head like a gang of outlaws! After following them for a while, we found a pair of black and white striped coris together! This is a rare fish which is usually seen solo. We also saw leaf scorpion fish, a huge 7-11 crab and another huge moray eel out swimming. And it was a beautiful, sunny, calm day in Kona, Hawaii!
