Kona Classic 2007


EELS, EELS, and more EELS.  This June was my first trip to Hawaii.  I went out there to participate in the Kona Classic 2007.   My goal was to photograph the Manta Rays, but no such luck.  I went out almost every night but unfortunately no Mantas to be found.  I was lucky to have an amazing encounter with a pod of Pilot Whales  and two Oceanic White Tips, the unfortunate part of the story is that all I had with me on that dive was a macro lens.  I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed diving with the Kona Honu Divers.  They run a very smooth operation and I would definitely recommend them.
