Well finally able to post some pictures and stories of the latest trip out to Niihau and Kaula Rock. This is by far the best diving in Hawaii and we were fortunate to be blessed with perfect weather and a great bunch of divers from Hawaii. There are only a few who get to go to Kaula Rock because usually the seas are to rough.
Arnel Data was one of our guests who shot this nice knife jaw that got taxed by the local resident shark. We had to offer a few to keep a few. Arnel is a good diver and works at Westside Dive and Tackle and now sponsored by Salvimar.
The action doesn't stop through the night as we hook fish with our bottom fishing gear. We loaded up with Akule, Menpachi, and some toau. Here James Oshiro and RJ Strickland teaming up till midnight.
We eat fresh fish as well. Here Janson Fujinaga taking a break from filleting our pupus. I had fun diving with Janson and he is a very good dive partner to have. He is mindful of his partner and always is watching out for them. His dream was always to be on Hawaii Skin Diver TV and his dream came true when he caught the biggest fish of his life and it's all on film!
There were some huge Ukus taken on this trip weighing close to 30 lbs. Heres Kris Tyler is holding up one massive Uku. Kris is the owner of Westside Dive and Tackle and been traveling with us every year. If you need dive gear go visit him at his shop next to Times in Waipahu.
I had 45 minutes to spear since I was filming most of the time but really wanted one mu to take home for a photo shoot with Merlinda and got lucky with a couple Mus, and Omilu, and a Uku that got away.
As you can see it was a pretty productive trip with a mix bag of everything at big sizes. A lot of happy families will be fed for sure. Mahalo to Captain Jerry and his crew for taking us out and all our divers for joining our Red Sea Ocean Adventure. There were a lot of personal best fish taken, new friendships made and great memories had by all.
