I'm so excited to share with you my photos from a fantastic dive! The World War II Corsair fighter went down during a routine training mission in 1946. The pilot safely got to shore and is said to be alive and well and living on Molokai. The Corsair sits upright and intact at 105 feet down. Large eels can be seen under the wings and occasionally in the cockpit. Surrounding the plane wreck are thousands of garden eels swaying back and forth. Schools of goatfish and soldier fish within the fuselage. The visibility was over 100 feet ... which was amazing when 100 feet under!
The second dive was to Portlock Reef - was 35'-50'. There are lots of hard corals along a wall. Moray eels, goatfish and octopus were found here. The day I went the visibility for the dive was only 25 feet or so because the waves above were 5-8 feet. Pretty crazy! I can't wait to do my next dive!
