Home video I put together of my trip to Hawaii with Gee Gee. A trip to Pearl Harbor and another trip around the island is where a majority of the video was shot in Hawaii. You will see some shots from the beaches in Waikiki as well as downtown Waikiki and Honolulu. We went scuba diving with a dozen or so green sea turtles. Pretty awesome!

Our first dive was at Turtle Canyons. Turtle Canyons was formed thousands of years ago when volcanic activity was in action here on Oahu. Large lava/rock encrusted fingers point out from the shallow shores of Waikiki in a south eastern direction. In between these “fingers” are mostly small rock boulders, coral heads and sand. We saw a dozen or so of Hawaiian green sea turtles in their natural habitat. You can literally swim right with these rare reptiles without a care in the world. Dolphins were are on patrol around this site because we heard them emitting squeaks and clicks.

So exciting, they sucked down air too fast and ended the dive about 20 min early. It’s all good though, practice makes perfect. The visibility was about 15 meters with alot of jellyfish in the water. Everybody had little stingers and a bunch of close calls.

Crocodile Island is only a stones throw away from Boracay Island itself and can be reached within fifteen minutes from White Beach.

Here’s a video that pretty much sums up my Australia trip.

We did 2 dives at an average of 12 meters / 40 mins. The Red Sea Bass were there to greet us on the drop into the water. Hundreds of different types of corals, a few lionfish, drummers, unicornfish, clownfish and tons of anemones in the shallower sections.

I ran video and shot some pictures throughout my travels in Thailand. Flying into Bangkok from Philippines, I met up with Rocky and took the hour taxi ride to Pattaya to grab some gear. Back to Bangkok and a flight to Phuket started everything off. With no set plans, everything was setup thru facebook and text messages with very last minute planning. Being in Thailand made it so easy to not even have a schedule.Bad storms prevented us from getting any diving done or any tourist stuff happening.

From Patong Beach in Phuket, we took off to Koh Samui in a 4 hour taxi ride across the country. During the travels, we stopped by 7-11 for some drinks and snacks, I grabbed a hot dog and some Gatorade and something for the taxi man. No big deal right? That hog dog got my ass sick for a solid 24 hours. So I’m in Koh Samui ejecting hot dog from both ends of my body 10 minutes after check in. Shit. 11am we are on another fast boat to Koh Tao.

Two large granite boulders make up the White Rock dive site. An expansive coral garden can be found here at around 10 meters that’s teeming with schools of butterflyfish and angelfish. Turtle and sea snake on this dive
