Snorkeling in Kauai with Hawaiian Monk Seals

Sometimes, it is the simple things that make us happy. I will be the first to tell you that I love diving and would much prefer diving to snorkeling. However, everything has its time and place. I have learned that snorklers are people, too! We have added a really awesome snorkel tour that is just as fun, safe and easy as everything else that we do. Lots of cool stuff to see here.  While walking down to the beach, we stopped to say hello to a couple of the local Hawaiian Monk Seals (that can only be found in the islands).The Hawaiian Monk Seal is a species that is considered endemic to the islands. The word endemic means that the species is unique to a region (i.e., is found no where else) and is believed to have evolved there. Many...

Jordan Saves A Turtle

Opportunity often knocks, but do you listen. Not too long ago, Jordan had the opportunity to help one of our sea friends. One of our local turtle buddies was caught up in some fishing line. This poor guy was actually stuck on the bottom of the reef, unable to move because of the line wrapped around his neck. A couple of divers that were with Jordan snapped these photos as he cut the turtle free. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to make a special difference in the water. Thanks, Jordan....

Today at Koloa Landing

There are some of you out there who may or may not be familiar with the guy in the picture on the right. His name is Anthony (McScuba to us). What you may not know, is that Anthony is someone who really cares about not only Scuba Diving, but he also cares about Kaua'i! Today I drove down to the Landing [Koloa] to check out the ocean conditions. I was amazed to find Anthony down there cleaning up from the big storm that we had last night. Now I know that some of you will be suprised to hear this. Some of you are probably thinking that this does not sound like the Anthony I know. Well, let me tell you, it is not. Because if you don't think this sounds like Anthony, you don't know him. I just wanted to publicly thank Anthony for doing something...
