Mahi Ship Wreck [Pix!]

At the actual ship wreck we saw a whale shark in the first 3 minutes we got down there, it was about 40 feet big. I had NO freaking clue it was there but when I got in the water I kept turning over my shoulder with this unnerving intuition. Apparently it swam 15 feet over my head and I didn't see it until someone pointed it out to me. I did get a video of it that is about 16MB but I don't know where to upload it. The water was pretty warm, 79 F. Depth was 90 feet. Visbility was excellent. I realize I kept forgetting there was a boat there, because I kept taking pictures of the fish lol.

See All Pix!

First Dive - Mahi Ship Wreck




Second Dive - Somewhere off the Coast of Waianae

You can upload it to google if you have a gmail account.

Nice photos. I would bet your 2nd dive is at Makaha Caverns.

Welcome to SB and to the Ohana!!

As for the Whale shark...That's Great! Roger was lucky enough to see two out that way (different times) and got to swim with one...talk about adrenalin rush!

PS: just love your view (except for the temporary canal floating in the Ala Wai :()
