HSDTV - 100th episode

Tomorrow night features "Hawaii Skin Diver TV" 100th episode!  Can't believe how fast it has come by and we want to thank all our sponsors who have faithfully stood by us all these years.  Our divers who always invite us along their adventures and without them we would not be able to provide our viewers non-stop action.  Our film crew and local musicians who have generously provided the support we need every time.  And all our viewers who watch HSDTV and make it one of the most watched shows on OC16.  Premier of our special Northwest Hawaiian Islands episode will air tomorrow, Tuesday at 8:30 pm on channel 16, 1016 (HD) or log on to www.oc16.tv.

Mexican Shootout 2012 Pau

Mexican Shootout 2012 has come to and end and overall event was a huge success!  We met our goal to provide A/C units for the local elementary school and everyone had a fun time.  Our sponsors stepped up again and generously donated all kinds of goodies for our divers and boat captains!

Boat Captains were on it again putting divers on their fish each day.  Here Captain Yoni keeping a watchful eye out for our divers in the water. Yoni has the winning smile and his secret weapon is he speaks english!

The blue water diving was just as relaxing as it looks here.  Calm seas each day made the conditions to nice for our local divers.  Some of them even fell asleep while diving.  I think a little more wind would have been better for the pelagics but our divers still kept busy on the reef.

Here Ken Oakes took a nice Pargon off the spot called Pargon Alley.  Its here were huge reef fish are taken daily.  If you want to dive this spot you got expect to bend a couple of shafts on your trip.

From Reef to blue water game, La paz has it all!  Here some of our divers displaying their catch.  We are so happy to be able to support the local community, catch some nice fish, but most of all we are happy to see new friendships made.  Thank you to all our divers for joining us and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!

And as a added bonus we even got to see an awesome baitball in action.  So much to say on this day but will save it for another exciting episode and article in Hawaii Skin Diver TV and magazine!

Mexican booties

Team HI-5 0, james Oshiro sacrificed his shirt off his back for team west coast, Ken Oakes. Kens wetsuit was too small and his ankles were all sunburnt. Now does anybody want to sing, YMCA? Ha ha!
