Big Island Tsunami Diving....

Well, what a weekend. The Kaimana Dive Club loaded up and headed to Kona for the weekend. Friday we took in a shore dive at Place of Refuge and we were scheduled to dive Sat and Sun with Bottom Time Hawaii. Mother Nature had other plans.....

With the Tsunami Warning in effect for Sat AM our dives got wiped and we began packing up to head up the hill. Here's what we looked like while waiting for the "all clear"





The better part of Saturday we spent hanging out at the house we had rented and being bummed that we couldn't go diving. The crew wasn't all frowns though as some people headed out for coffee tours and walks around town. A few of us entertained ourselves by having some Pool Olympics.....



Finally by Sunday it was time to DIVE. With no 5am Tsunami Alarms waking us up we chowed a breakfast at the house and headed over to the harbor. Lots of excitement in the air and the sun was out making for some spectacular conditions! Here are some highlights from our day dives:







Big Mahalos to everyone for making the weekend so fun...... even though we weren't able to get two days of boat diving in, the company alone was worth the trip. For our next off island adventure I'm thinking Niihau.... August guys?
