Ah...Olawalu.

So, we made it to Olawalu and finally found a good dive site with little wind, no current to speak of, and fun stuff to find in the lava fingers that come into the water here.
Goofy and I decided to go on our own adventure here, and the crew knew we were able to navigate on our own, so we geared up and got ready to splash.
At about that time, a loud hissing sound started coming from Goofy's gear. Seems like her BC was deciding to inflate on it's own, and her low pressure hose was wonky. Captain Dan had a new reg for her to use so we went in and gave it a try. Goofy decided to leave her camera on-board the boat while she tested the new rig, she didn't add extra weight to account for that, though, so we had one more trip back to the boat for more lead. LOL.
We descended and toured around a bit saw some neat fish and turtles, but you know it just wasn't a day to dive.

The lead in Goofy's suit (which she'd just stuffed in the top of her wetsuit) decided to migrate (lmao at this point), and the longer we were under, the farther down it went...by the time we went back to the boat, it was at her knees (rotflol).
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
Definitely a bug day. :)
The ride home was happily short, since we'd come nearly all the way back to Lahaina Harbor to find a good site.
We went into the shop and got our buddy Ron to fix the gear.
Then...we headed home where Goofy took a nap! LOL.
Bug day for sure...
Wednesday was another day...
Just sayin'
