Haunauma Bay
So my buddy Tony and I dove Haunauma Bay on Monday, Presidents day- it was pretty cool. The outer reefs have some of the most pristine I've seen yet here on Oahu. We did two dives- saw the standard stuff- Turtles, a Moray Eel, a couple of flounder, which were pretty cool, but no sharks this time. The last time we went though, Tony spotted a smaller shark (as in baby) underneath an overhang of coral. Just as he was going in to investigate it, a much larger shark (presumably mother... ) swam in from the side. I got it all on tape... at least my hasty exit. Tony, being the NOAA officer, is somewhat of an expert on marine life, and told me it was just a white tip shark, which are generally pretty harmless, but in my eyes, it was still a shark. No thanks. No sightings this time though. It was fun- Haunauma Bay is a pretty nice place to dive and snorkel- although it can get quite crowded for the snorkeling set...
