after looking at those photos and getting hungry, i decided to go to the oceans garden. as i drove out past ala moana, i couldn’t believe how clean the water was. i could see the bottom at 80′. that is so rare!

i was craving fish so i went to look at a spot i haven’t been in a while. it was 60′ deep but i could see the fish from the top. a couple dives and a couple kumu’s! pretty easy!
