Dive No.: 1991 Dive Site: Papio Point, Oahu, Hawaii Max Depth: 44ft/13m Total Time: 30 mins Air: 200bar – 130 bar Mix: EANx36 Tank: 80cu Weight: 8lbs Visibility: 100ft/30m Water: 73F/23C Exposure: Rash Guard, 5mm full wet suit, 3mm skull cap Comments: Beautiful shallow reef packed with huge schools of goatfish stretched out like yellow ribbons between the coral heads. Several small eels, two scorpionfish, three brightly colored nudibranchs, and one well-disguised frogfish rounded out the dive.

This was a gentle cruise around an urchin-covered ledge where many eels poked their heads out from tiny crevices. Two turtles swam in slow circles around the descent line at the start of the dive.
