Sorry dude - I only have time to program for the evil empire (for free). Been meaning to fix for Firefox but haven't been motivated lately :(

No worries, I just thought you should know! It's a great project!

Thanks,

Sean
 
No - but I'm so old, I once dove WITH "Stonewall" :D :drummer:

Tim - have you dove it? Maybe you could get the sub guys to take us out there to put on a "show"?

Hey... that's not a nice thing to call me! :D

Sean: you can also find these sites on the Google Earth Community (Mark has uploaded them there)... but I guess that's only available on the PC as well.

Dang, sure would be nice if the world could see the light and find their way to the white-computer side! :D

[Hijack] sry - I'm with the "yellow" semi-sub we stay in 20fsw :wink: nice clear, warm, shallow, calm water :D

Never dove stonewall myself ... just wondering if it's worth having as a goal or not.

It's been 6-7 years since I've dove Stonewall... but I definitely remember it being impressive. Schooling ulua, black tip reef shark, black coral, and some big lobsters. I do remember wishing for a more powerful dive light while I was down there though!!! Definitely worth doing (understatement)!

I think Pauline's book, Diving Hawaii & Midway, has a good description of the site... which (if memory serves) is thought to have been the cliffs of a coastal bay when ocean water levels were lower... my copy of her book is missing... anybody else have a copy?
 
Is it at 150fsw as implied in the Atlantis info? Appears to be about 3 miles west of Mala wharf.

Aloha, Tim
 
The top of the trench is around 107' (anchorable), the wall drops off to 140', plateaus, then drops again to around 170'... I know our captains have the exact location... three miles seems further than I recall, maybe more like 1.5... but I'm not the bus driver, so I dunno for sure.
