Makena
Landing |
Site: Bubble Cave & Toilet Bowl
Date: 6/10/09
Weather: Cloudy, 87°
Water Temp: 76 - 78°
Surf: 2' - 2.5'
occasional waves, smoothing out
Visibility: 5' to 10' inshore,
20' to 30' on the reef
Comments: The
water was surgy today. Diving here was fantastic
last week and not very good the last couple days. Lots of turtles and as
many as 5 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.

Surf: 2' - 3.5'
Visibility: 5' to 10' inshore,
20'to 40' on the reef
Comments: Rough
water is making it ot so nice here again. Poor vis today. Lots of
turtle action near surface but not too many on the actual dive. Two
octopus were spotted. We saw a small shark sleeping next to a
turtle the other day. 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 3 lbs of old lead and hooks and crap.
Hopefully this site will stay nice for the next day or two.

Someone saw a twenty foot whale shark off of B&B Scuba's boat
the
Kilikina last week. Fish resembled a blizzard in the water column. Back
wall has been accessible most days lately. As usual, Molokini is a
great dive! We can set you up with some great operators who dive
