Remember the 10 second rule, sometimes its better to try another dive site, or just head to Dunkin’Donuts.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Last dive of the year…

With high surf predicted over the 96 weekend we decided to play it safe and hit the water early this morning.  So we headed to Kadena Steps…however the waves were coming in at quick intervals and breaking over the jacks and steps.  Better discretion prevailed and we decided on plan B.  Thankfully plan B was only a few hundred yards away, Kadena North.   The waves were much smaller here and due to the river and reef structure the intervals were much easier to predict.   After timing the waves we jumped into the water and swam past the breakers.  Once we got underwater the visibility was surprisingly good (60+) and the temp was a balmy 71 degrees (thank Triton for my 5 mil wetsuit).  After about an hour bottom time and getting some cool photos we headed back to the surface.  The tide had risen a bit making it a much easier exit. 

Stay tuned for our next dive.

Semper Dive,

Brian
