occasional waves, smooth
Visibility: 15' to 30' inshore,

Comments: The
water was awesome today. Diving here was fantastic
last week and great the last couple days. Lots of turtles and as
many as 3 white tip reef
sharks have been seen at one time recently. I saw a large squid
on my night dive a couple nights ago. Across the street from the bath
house and road is the beginning of a new construction project called
Papa'anui. It has severely limited parking along the road. They've
clear cut the land and we're concerned about potential run-off from
heavy rains.

Comments: Calm

turtle in one cave. That was pretty cool. Still
finding lots of fishing debris in
this area despite continued efforts to remove everything we find. Today
we collected over 2 lbs of old lead and hooks and crap.
Hopefully this site will stay nice for the next day or two.
