Todays dive was a short one. The conditions have been prime with small surf and no wind along the Hamakua coast. Ammon, Kealii, Josh and I decided to do a early morning dive. Ammon and Kealii arrived at my house around 7am and we loaded up and jumped in. We waited for Josh at Earl's Snack Shop. Everyone was itching to get into the water and the wait seemed like forever. We finally met up and drove down to the spot.
Upon hiking down the conditions were perfect. We jumped in and I stuck with Josh while Ammon stayed with Kealii. I followed a ledge out and saw a big blue whiptail peeking out. I took a drop down current, hit the bottom and snuck up towards the ledge. Peeking over I could see the big face of a big blue uhu. I lined up for the shot and squeezed my trigger. I swam up and saw it was a good holding shot. With an uhu on the stringer I could feel my dive mode start to kick in.
We started to swim further and Josh reported not feeling so good. He started to palu the water around us due to feeling sea sick! We signaled to Ammon guys that we were going to head in. Even though it was a short dive it felt good to get in the water again.
