The Odd Couple:

I guess after 4000 dives here on Oahu, I can still be impressed on a daily basis. Maybe that's what keeps divers coming back. The trill of seeing something new or rare.....

This week at Sharks Cove I spotted this little fellow:



Above we have Pomacanthus Imperator or the Emperor Angelfish. According to Keoki and Yuko's Website They are extremely rare in our waters! SWEET.

A few days earlier on the Westside I was doing my dive thing when I stumbled upon a fish I haven't seen in years. Here we have the Bandit Angelfish. And though they are often seen in pairs, this one was on his or her own. We can only hope a suitable mate is found!



Would love to see you all out for an adventure soon..... you never know what will decide to join us.

Mahalo,
