Blowhole Jan 28th - Pristine Conditions Today

[Scubaholic]

Looks pristine, flat, 100ft vis

Had Kona winds on the East side last night.

Who's up for a dive?

Will be there about 10:30 - 11:00am for the first tank, doing 2 tanks today.

Great dive today!
100ft vis, no current.

Went way... right found caves and swimthru's

Saw some incredible fish... not sure what it was yet, 3 inches, purple and flat with diamond eyes, also saw a huge frogfish.

2nd dive was Lanai Lookout, did a shallow 20-30 ft dive against the rocks, can't usally dive there because of the surge, found some caves with a 5-6 Eel...

Great shore dive for the 4 of us.

They come in that pinkish color and white, dark red/brown and I've seen golden and spotted ones. They molt too.
