For our last full day, we ate breakfast at 7:00 per usual. Our same wonderful breakfast of bacon and eggs tasted delicious and we began to head to our first site. The first site of the final to dives was Sand Hole. Sand Hole was a super cool site as it was the first time I have ever seen...

On the fifth day of dives, the group and I were traveling to the Kittiwake Ship Wreck. Kittiwake's story is a interesting one. The ship was first set sail on July 10th, 1945. The vessel served as sub rescue ship. Interesting enough, during its service time, the USS Kittiwake destroyed and saved one submarine. Coincidentally, the destroyed sub was...

This morning, I woke up to another wonderful breakfast consisting of eggs and bacon. The group and I prepared our dive gear for the trip to Hepp's Pipeline.

After saying adios to my family in the airport, My brothers and I boarded for the adventure of the summer.

My roommates and I set up our accommodations and prepared to head out for a quick scuba. This resort allows...

Yesterday was our group service project, a beach cleanup, filled with fun activities for us to clean. First, we went around the coastal line and deep area of the beach searching for trash and had a competition to see who picked up the most trash. While we were searching. One of our group members spotted a Monk Seal...

On day 5, I was told I wasn't going to be ale to participate in the blackwater dive due to safety concerns along with 8 other people from the whole team. After hearing the news, I was ready to see what else we could do that day. My group went off first to a submarine off the western Kona...
