Diving for fun with friends at Mahukona, Kohala Coast, HI!
G_O_R_G_E_O_U_S__DAY_ for a dive with friends at Mahukona on the Kohala Coast, Hawaii!
The weather and conditions were near perfect; and the water soooo clear!

'Battle of the Cameras'? No, just friends enjoying an AWESOME Dive!
Our timing was a little off due to our arrival at almost low tide which only makes the entry/exit a little more challenging since the water is not at dock level; but that did not effect the end result; an excellent dive and I get to have a camera of my own now as well!
Even though the water was quite brisk on entry, I still did not turn away; and after I had been in for a while, it was a very comfortable temperature and then I did not want to get out quickly. This harbor is a great dive spot especially for a relaxed dive just for fun and with friends, it is even better!

I took many pictures! Although many of them were motion blurred, I did get some good photos of fish that I had been trying for since starting to dive with a camera. One of the most interesting pictures that I snapped on this dive was of a large, graceful predator with blue fins...Oh...wait...it is my dive buddy, Andy
We also found what I thought was my first viewing of one of the Nudibranchs that Andy keeps finding; but later ID'd it as a Fuchsia Flatworm (Pseudoceros ferrugineus). Still a very spectacular invertebrate. To keep you returning for more, that photo will post in the near future...
Awesome Dive and we will do more!
