Sea was very calm today so for our second dive we did a drift dive off the coast of Rabbit Island, off the southeast corner of Oahu. Lots of different fish, moray eels, a white tipped reef shark, and an octopus.


On the way to the Rabbit Island dive site we located a new dive site that looked promising with a long shelf and coral reef so we decided to come back to and try a drift dive across for the second dive. Unfortunately we should have dove it when we first found it because when we came back to it, the tides had changed and the currents were extremely strong so that we had to end the dive early for everyones safety.
