    Mala Wharf Boat Ramp, Lahaina

    Mala Wharf (Pier), Lahaina, Maui, HI. Second dive on this site this day. Recreation Dive. Used second half of tank after a break from the first dive at this site. No wet suit on dive. Added two pounds of weight which made the dive much easier than the first where I had too little weight. Walk out entry across rocks hard on feet. Other divers had solid sole boots on feet. No exposure suit. Saw Reef Shark again and a group of Rays swim by together.

    Mizpah

    Actually called the "Mizpah Corridor." Great way to start the day! My favorite dive of the whole two day trip. It is actually a series of wrecks and rubble. We dropped down next to the Mizpah where we found several Goliath Groupers and some very large Rays. I watched a large Grouper swim through a hole in the top of the Mizpah. Amazing it got through but then it turned and peered out at us when we came close. Between this and the next wreck were some old tires in the sand. We were told the Groupers may aggregate above the tires but no luck. Next was the Patrol Craft 1174. It is in two pieces with a considerable gap in between. Lots of sea life! Next was the wreck of the Amaryllis. The deck has been cut off of it. Lots of life on this wreck. We then drifted to the China barge also called the research barge. We were told we probably not reach it but diving Steel 119s paid off and we did. Also we were told there is not life there but there were some fish and some very large rays in the sand next to it. It is worth seeing but not nearly as much life as what is on the Mizpah. Great dive all around.

    Training Dive: SDI Beach and Shore Dive 3/4

    Training Dive: SDI Open Water Certification Dive #3/4. Instructor Joe Silvia, SDI #10638, Alaska Scuba Instruction, Lahaina, Maui, HI. Boat dive with Hawaiian Rafting Adventures (Lahaina, Maui, HI). Dove with Hawaiian Rafting Adventures (Dive Maui) http://www.goscubadivemaui.com/. Rolling backward boat water entry off of dive boat side was a lot of fun. Had to swim on surface switching between snorkel and regulator repeatedly to satisfy SDI skill req. Used a tag line and then a mooring line to bottom depth 60 feet. Used Oceanic Veo 2.0 computer to monitor depth and allowed bottom time. Dive computer is required on all SDI OWD Certification Dives unlike PADI. Repeated some key skills to build confidence. Completed exercise in Underwater Navigation that I requested outside SDI req. When re-boarding the boat the Dive Master pulled out my integrated weight pockets making re-boarding easier. Used a steel cylinder so that I could stay at depth longer than an Aluminum Cylinder. Wore an Aqua Lung Shorty exposure suit size 3X. Boat: Hoku is a 11.3 meter (37’1”) Naiad built in Rhode Island, delivered May 2009. Is powered with twin 250hp Mercury 4 stroke Verado engines. The boat was custom built for the tank storage and seating on the boat and the rear entry ladders and dive doors with the opening in the transom.
