Oahu Hawaii

This is a morea eel peeking out of his hole they are so scary looking. 

Rhonda and I had a great trip to Hawaii.  We had such a fantastic time the weather was perfect, and the boat drinks were great and it was filled with fun activities.

Our first two days on the island we went Scuba diving with Capt. Bruce's dive company.  We did four dives and they were fantastic.  Our first day dive site where the Mahi Ship wreck and Makaha.  We saw Spotted Eagle Rays, puffer fish, Turtles, and lots of other things.

Two happy divers ready to go.  The second day we the dive sites where  Twin Holes and Land of Oz.  

Allen our dive master was so fantastic I highly recommend him.

Our third day we did a little hike, kayak and snorkel on the North side of the island over looking Kualoa Ranch.  This picture is looking at a 500 year old fishing pond.

Day 5 we went to Kailua for a four hour paddle board trip

This was our guide and the island behind him Na Mokulua is the first placed we paddled out to.

On our way out to the islands we saw some sea turtles. (I was in a funny setting so some of the pictures are blue)

Another fantastic evening on Waikiki

I just love Waikiki

Rhonda and I enjoying a glass of wine on our lanai

We rented some paddle board son our last day and went out on Waikiki.  Take a good look at my sunglasses because I lost them riding a wave on my paddleboard.  

Looking back on Waikiki beach

Notice Rhonda is covered up today.  Yesterday she thought it would be a good idea to not use sunscreen just to get a little more sun.  She got all the sun she needed and a little bit more.  Let just say Lobster.

We could believe how clear the water was out here.  we say turtles and lots of fish.

Look how clear the water is.

What a perfect picture.  I love the ocean

I took this picture half in the water and it turned out really cool.   We just floated out here looking fish we found a great reef with lots of fish.

After we watched fish for a bit we or I mean I paddled over by  some surf to catch some waves.  I finally had a great ride (more than five paddles) I could have ridden the wave all the way into shore it ROCKED!  I had three great rides that day.

Our last boat drinks on Waikiki.  At Jimmy Buffett's at the beachcomber.

We made a friend diving this is Barbara  from California she had an underwater camera and took some great photos.  All of the underwater photos are thanks to her.

Rhonda really wanted to see turtles and we lucked out and saw a couple of them.  This guy was having a little snack.

This is the top of Waikiki restaurant it rotates 360 degrees while you eat so you have a great view of waikiki
