Was supposed to assist with a private class today, but the plans changed at the last minute after I was already waiting at the dive site, so I decided to not waste the day and chose to do a Solo Dive instead.
Visibility was not that good today, but I saw a lot of various fish and several moray eels on the dive. I did see one small White Tipped Reef Shark sleeping under an overhang way around the right side of Sharks Cove.
For the second dive I went out on the left side of the cove and focused on the area straight out in front of Sharks Cove then came back in on the right side of the cove. I chose to just do a relaxing dive to observe all the fish species that inhabit the cove.
Saw a lot of Reef or Wedge Tailed Trigger Fish, called Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa in the Hawaiian language which means fish that grunts like a pig. The humuhumu as it is often referred to is the Hawaii State Fish.
