The Patel's Discover Scuba Waikiki Adventure!

Aloha Dive Fans                              Sorry About the Tardiness of this blog... The Braves are in the midst of a CRISIS!!!!!


Hey! You like Scuba Diving?
Well, I can name two(2) more people who can say YES to that! Sandy & Sandip tried out Rainbow Scuba's "Discover Scuba Diving" package the other day -- I think they surprised themselves! I found them to be charming, friendly & courageous!


(Sandy -- Me -- Sandip!... Courageous enough to be in the same picture with me!)

We met for the first time just before heading out for the adventure that would top off their stay in Hawaii! Sandy seemed nervous -- and she was. Sandip didn't show it -- but -- I could see it. Let me tell you though... In a matter of minutes they were having ALL kinds of fun under the sea!!!

Check out the pic's...

(Sandy, Looking good... Nervous? I don't think so!)


(Sandip!  WOW!!!! The Eyes say it ALL!!)


We went from Nautilus Reef  to our second dive site -- Horseshoe Reef on a expedition to find some Sea Turtles!!!
Now on any normal day we would have just asked the Captain to take us to Turtle Canyon, but, the conditions just weren't right.
 So, it was up to us to find them elsewhere!


(Guess what we found? Ya Turtles!)

My thanks goes out to Sandy from NY and Sandip -- who just happens to be a Mets Fan(sorry to hear that!) -- For making our afternoon a great one! I think Rainbow Scuba left an impression on them during their Hawaiian Vacation. I know they left a little bit of Patel here with us!


(Just ask this Hina'lea)


Aloha Guys! Gooooooooooo Braves!!!!! Beat those Mets!

Until Next time -- Dive Safe and Dive Happy!

Afternoon Scuba Diving the Reefs of Hawaii with 2 more Happy Rainbow Scuba Divers!

Aloha Dive Fans!

No wind too strong -- no waves too big -- we're taking certified Scuba Divers on the afternoon "shake of the cobwebs" tune up dive! On board the Kahala Kai. Yesterday Mike and Karen Janson & I did a quick refresher reef dive charter -- I Got I bench seat! Woo Hoo!

The happy couple wanted to forego the morning deep shipwreck dive charter to "get back in the swing of scuba after a year out of the water and a while since being certified!

I briefed them just like it was their 1st dive -- which it really was... But, with the expert guidance and a quick run through of the skills, hand signals and guidelines -- we visited Nautilus Reef for a little "shark viewing, fish feeding and of course -- "The Octopus Challenge!" -- Free Lunch anyone?

Let's meet Karen & Mike Janson!


(Kim & Mike Janson -- waiting to come aboard for an afternoon Shallow Reef Dive on the Kahala Kai)

5 minutes after leaving the
dock we were moored on top of Nautilus Reef - perfect for a "get back into it" scuba dive for these  PADI OW Certified divers! Three minutes to equalize -- expected -- remember Rainbow divers -- "equalize early & often!" they were divin around in no time -- gracefully too!


( Love the Buddy system -- no body ever wants to be my buddy -- just let me lead!)


I mentioned the world famous "Free Lunch" Octopus Challenge -- as I do to all the divers! I haven't bought a single lunch yet ,but, it's fun to watch! Ya Ya Ya... I can't wait for someone to earn the title of !st free lunch in 23 years!
No such luck -- again. Am I really that good? lol

Found one in 3 minutes into the dive!

(SEE! no matter who actually finds and holds it up -- everyone enjoys the free pics -- especially Kim!)


Mike didn't seem to complain either!


(It's not Monster BIG but I think the smaller ones take more skill to find -- Mike say's "OK")


(Kim feeds the fish -- Hinale'a and the "Yellow Fish" -- That's the correct name of them right Ken?)

I
took some mediocre pic's of the ever-elusive Dragon Moray!


(Nice! -- Dragon Moray Eel on Horseshoe Reef)


(Meanwhile, Mike does his best to stop the prison break! Tako escaping! Tako escaping!)


(And Kim performs the "Magic Pebble Urchin Trick!)

These two took to it like they had just done a live-aboard for a month! Like we always say "With the right instructor it's just like falling off a boat!

Like this...


(Kim's textbook Giant Stride entry - action photo compliments of me!)


(Mike Cruises along -- perfect buoyancy control!)

I gotta say -- These two are ready for the Morning Deep Shipwreck dive!


(Hangin' at the "Deep End" of Kewalo Pipe)

On behalf of Ken, the staff, and Myself I say thanks to The Jansons -- I'll expect to see you two for the morning charter before you leave for home!


(Look at you two -- so nice!)

Again a BIG Mahalo to Mike & Kim for having fun this afternoon -- I know -- as well as you do -- That you made the right decision diving with Rainbow Scuba Hawaii!

Until next time When I see you Under the Sea!
Dive safe and give us a call -- we'd love to have you along!

Barton's & Schuler's Overwhelm & Conquer -- Like Boarding Pirates That Can't be Repelled!

Aloha & Howdy Dive Fans!

It's been known by many in the Honolulu dive community -- professionally speaking -- that we all have our favorite return customers. I know you're ALL special to us and don't think we don't remember your names. I've droned on endlessly about multiple-day dive fanatics like, Tammy from Wisconsin, Angie & Cory, Leslie & Kim from L.A. -- Eunyee  from Korea, Marks & Sarahs, Mikes & Sarahs, Steven from Canada(East) -- Cathy from Canada(Central) -- Shane from right here in Honolulu and even the Beloved Jaime. The list goes on and on! We love you one and All! 

This week was a special week for Rainbow Scuba thanks to the new Reigning Champions & Conquerors Extraordinary and Plenty Potentiary... The Bartons & Schulers from Texas! I'm here to tell ya -- these folks just don't know the word "quit!"

Ken, Enrique and I have "Scuba Fever" -- that's why we do this... But, HECK... this family runs on some other kind of "Dive Fuel" that I'm just not familiar with! -- Maybe it's being too far from the Pacific, or, too close to fresh water lakes, or maybe it's just a truck-load of Barbecue Spare-Ribs -- I DON"T KNOW!


(Look at em All! -- Hey... What's goin' on? -- I'm in this pic -- So is Choy!)

This whole thing started yesterday as the Barton/Schuler Brigade got off to a roarin' start with the "Double Deep -- Double Shipwreck morning!" Followed closely by an afternoon of "Discover Scuba" -- Now, that in itself is a full plate... Heck... They came back for Seconds... Thirds... Fourths and washed it all down with a cold Budweiser!

I give! Uncle! Mercy! Throw in the proverbial Towel! -- Scuba Divin' fools! There is NO Kryptonite or Armor that can stop them -- like "Killer Bee's" coming up from below the border... Your firearms are useless against them!


(Dave & Tim Barton -- they were suited up before we untied from the pier!)

I was a little worried that the previous day's perfect conditions would make today's dives somewhat of a let-down. Ooops! There I go again... Thinking! -- It can only hurt the team!
 
David made it very clear to me -- repeatedly -- that there's no "Bad" diving here in Hawaii. I wish I could bottle that attitude and pass it out to ALL our visitors!

Hey, we dropped down on The Sea Tiger -- free ascending of course -- to see what make this shipwreck a "must do" -- even if you just did it 20 hours earlier!


(Drop Down and Give me 20 -- Make that 120 -- 120 feet to the sea-floor off the sunken ship)


(Dave rises from the deepest part of the dive)


(Tim follows -- but -- may need to take the "NN" test again!)

I rarely go deep into the bowels of the ship -- I felt it obligatory to show these southern gents everything that "The Old Girl" has hidden inside. So we made our way down into the engine room -- past the corridors that Ken frequents. The two Bartons never even blinked -- Heck...


(Barton -- dive light in hand -- explores the engine room of The Sea Tiger)

I think these guys would dive the Titanic... if it were made of Spare-Ribs... You had to be there -- it was an on going theme!
Just smile & nod everyone!

That was just the beginning of the day -- in fact it was just the beginning of the morning dive charter! We pulled up stakes and headed to the Horseshoe Reef anchor. Since this father & son team are now seasoned scuba divers I thought we might try to cover some serious territory. We crossed "Octopuses Garden," passed the outer "Shoe" -- grazed the "Deep Pipe" and wound up on the western side of "Ewa Reef" -- or since they were the new champs -- "Bartons Reef"


(I can re-name it if I want -- I'm the Emperor of the Sea!)


(Tim & David -- 35 minutes after splash down -- and plenty of air to burn!)

During that LONG second dive(50 minutes) -- we saw a lot of cool things that most divers just never seem to notice. Like...


(This Pom-Pom Crab sitting in Palm-Palm of my left hand)

You know these guys are good so, of course my biggest fear was... Having to possibly buy them a lunch courtesy of the "Octopus Challenge!"


(Keep your head down if you're lookin' for the "Free Lunch!" -- sorry guys -- maybe next trip!)

Wouldn't you know it -- come the second charter -- the "Discover Scuba" portion brought more of em'!

Cain Schuler & his wife Damaris
-- who just happens to be... Ya a former Barton!  Joined David & Tim

You all remember Cain from yesterday right? Well let me refresh your memory...


(Cain -- Yesterday)


(Cain -- Today! joined by His wife Damaris -- he looks much better!)

We had a full boat load of Bartons & Schulers heading towards 'Turtle Canyon" to Scuba Dive Waikiki -- with Turtles of course!


(The Family that Dives Together -- Thrives Together -- David, Damaris, Tim & Cain)


(Damaris & Cain Schuler -- Yep there's Turtles at Turtle Canyon!)



(Just ask Choy! -- Don't worry I told you we haven't forgotten anyone... Yet!)

The Last Scuba Dive of the Day was back westward -- Cain & Damaris hadn't been to the Horseshoe yet so we must oblige!


(Cain's GIANT STRIDE entry -- like he's been diving for years! -- gotta be the instruction!)


(Damaris & Cain Schuler -- I hope we showed you two a good time)

To All you Barton/Schuler Pirates I say Thank You! For making this as much fun for me as it was for you! I'll be looking for your opinions of the dives on TripAdvisor.com -- where there are reviews you can trust!

I expect to see you all back in the winter for some "Hawaii Shipwreck Dives"

David & Tim -- You guys are not only great sports & great divers, but, Great friends! You make sure to keep in touch -- the rest of the Rainbow Scuba Faithful are jealous! You set the bar extremely high. Yet... NO FREE LUNCH?!!!! Now there's reason alone to come back and dive with us!

Mr. Choy, I want to see your pictures!

Until next time Dive Fans & Braves Fans alike -- I bid you farewell and safe passage to where-ever the current takes you!

Mahalo Ka Ko'u a hui ho!

Rainbow Scuba's Double Shipwreck VIP & Cain's Discover Scuba!

Aloha Rainbow Scuba Fans!

What are the BEST Shipwreck Dives in Hawaii? You know the answers -- The Sea Tiger & The YO-257/San Pedro... right? We usually try to alternate these 2 sites daily... right? What if you could do both sites in one morning? Wouldn't you say "That's Crazy Cool!"

Well on Tuesday our Fiercly Loyal Friends from Texas -- David & Tim Barton made their Annual Hawaii Scuba Dive Adventure a "Summer" trip this year!


(Tim & His Dad David -- The Barton's from Texas -- It's BIG, It's Texas!)

The last time we dove with Dave & Tim Barton we had just Finished Their PADI Advanced Open Water Certification! They were not only GREAT students -- passing with flying colors -- but fantastic friends! It's these folks that join the Rainbow Faithful who keep coming back for more of the Best Scuba Diving in Hawaii year after year with us! How do we show our un-dying appreciation?

How about a "Private VIP Double Deep Shipwreck Morning Scuba Dive Mad Adventure!" Yup! That's what we did -- Heck I'd go back for seconds!

We cast off from Kewalo early Tuesday morning headed for the YO-257 & San Pedro first -- I'm here to tell y'all it was just BEAUTIFUL! 100 foot visibility! See for yourself as we dive right into the action with the pics


(David, Massive Sea Turtle & Tim Cruising on the Deck of the YO-257 -- Clear as day)
 

Let's give you guys an idea of the Bartons -- They Hail from Texas and could easily jaunt down to Mexico, Cozumel, Belize or Central America -- but -- they endure a few dives a year in Texas to save their BIG Dive trip for Sunnjy and Friendly Hawaii -- like I said Feircly Loyal  and exteremly GENEROUS!

They tell me the lake diving in the Dallas Fort Worth area isn't pristine -- but they pay their dues and endure the poor visibility and lack of tropical marine life to make their Honolulu Annual Visit a real treat. It would be criminal of me to not give them my best effort -- Rainbow Scuba Style -- it helps that this family take the saying "Southern Hospitality" to newer levels!

Since Hawaii is the Southern Most State in the Country! I had to show them our version -- The Aloha Spirit! E' Komo Ma'i (welcome!)


(Tims's Hull Penetration into the San Pedro -- Loaded for Bear!)


(David Barton's YO-257 Swim Through at 95 feet -- Still crystal clear!)

We pushed the RDP just to the edge -- still within the non-deco profile re-boarded the Enzo and unhooked for the next stop The Sea Tiger! Dave & Tim couldn't hide the excitement -- to be honest I couldn't either -- look and see why...


(Frog Fish 2 for 1 -- Tim & Dave diving like the AOW Pros that they are!)


(Lets ALL drop down to the Sea Floor -- 115 feet for a little nitrogen test refresher -- no sweaty da!)

If the Sea Tiger were made of Barbecue Spare-Ribs, would ya eat it? I would... Heck... I'd go back for seconds -- then wash it down with a cold Budweiser!


If that wasn't enough -- They brought their daughter (who's done the "Discover Scuba" already) & her husband Cain -- It was Cain Schuler's first dive -- not many chances to dive during his 3 tours in Iraq as part of a U.S Army Infantry Division -- dodging bullets, bombs and I.E.D.s is a daily occurance for Cain, but, the Hawaiian Waters of off Waikiki in the winter can be a little challenging I had no doubt that this combat GI was gonna over come and soldier on -- That he did!


(David, Tim and son in law Cain getting pumped for cains first Discover Scuba in Hawaii -- No FEAR!)


(Like I said this guy "Cowboyed Up and never quit -- a small mask problem" no problem -- change that mag and back to it!)

I Have to Admit there were a few tense moments -- not down below -- up on the deck during the surface interval!


(He's not prayin' fellas -- he's just about to "feed the fish")

We Saw some absoultely amazing things in 38 feet of water.

Check out the FREE pic's...


(Sting Ray at 28 feet? Only for VIP's -- Taken at Nautilus Reef)


(Cain Schuler's "First Hand" experience with an octopus -- don't fret NO ONE GOT a Free Lunch!)

They invited me to Visit them in Texas -- and -- since Jaime lives in San Angelo up there I might just mosey on up for some steak, relaxation and some real shooting -- not at the range -- right off the porch!

 
(Tim wasn't gonna leave this afternoon without feedin the fish!)

The Barton/Schuler family will be joining us tomorrow for more of the same excitment -- their bringing Cain's wife Damaris as well.

Until then stay tuned in for the ever continueing Adventures of Rainbow Scuba and our fanatastic Guests from Texas

See you all tomorrow!

(Ron & Kanani -- I'm pretty sure the Sea Turtle wasn't in the wedding party -- but he was here today!)


(Brian's stroll down the aisle of the famous Sea Tiger!)

We made our way over to Horseshoe Reef for our second dive of the morning. Kanani wanted to see more fish, so, I said lets feed some and get a closer look!

Monster Saturday for Rainbow's Shipwreck Diver & 6 Discover Scuba Divers in Waikiki!

Aloha & Welcome All Dive Fans!

Wow -- What a weekend Rainbow Scuba has going on! Saturday was a MONSTER DAY! BIG dives by tiny people! -- they all have HUGE HEARTS and love for Scuba Diving in Hawaii! Everyone's weight -- less than 115lbs! Break out the small gear!

Saturday mornings early morning Shipwreck dive brought Eunyee to the Sea Tiger. After not being underwater for 5, count em' FIVE YEARS Eunyee Kim from Seattle - via South Korea -- decided to shake off the barnacles by booking 4 days of diving with Rainbow Scuba! Are you kidding me? That's what I call "taking advantage of our Multi-day Dive Package!" as well she should! She started her TEN(10) dive Adventure on the Famous Sea Tiger! Ambitious and Fearless!


(Eunyee -- no dives for 5 years? It sure doesn't show -- look at the confidence!)

Like I said you wouldn't be able to tell she was dry for 5 years! She saw some pretty cool things... You be the judge!


(Eunyee cool as the other side of the pillow while she hangs with a Sea Turtle on the Sea Tiger!)


(Every once in a while The Sea Tiger surprises me! Eunyee grasping a 3lb Slipper Lobster-- That's 3% of her weight!)

She REALLY wanted to hold an Octopus -- hahahahahaha gimme a something difficult will you!!!!?


(Eunyee -- Another satisfied customer!)

If Eunyee's first two dives weren't enough to get the weekend rollin'

I was lucky enough to take SEVEN (7) New Faces on the Hawaii Scuba Diving Adventure of their lives!!!


(Brad & Amanda, Maureen, Aya, Naoko, Riko & Yuri -- Discover Scuba Time!!!!)

Since it was MONSTER SATURDAY as well as Brad & Amanda's 11th Wedding anniversary we should get right to the Action!


(WOW -- Japan is well represented in this Olympic Style Event !!)


(Nothing say's I Love You on your 11th Anniversary like Amanda's Surprise Discover Scuba in Hawaii to her husband Brad!)

SO NICE!!!!!


(This Scuba Diving stuff is too Easy - when you dive with Rainbow Scuba!)


(Maureen and Aya! Doin the Dance!)

One of the best parts of my job is seeing complete strangers meet each other, go diving and become, perhaps, life long friends!


(Just ask Riko and Maureen)

That's just the case on this MONSTER SATURDAY!

Speaking of Monsters...

(Naoko Show's off Her Sea Monster!)


(Happy Anniversary Honey!... I got you an --- Octopus?)

I dunno guy's -- this dive day will stay in my heart and mind for quite a while -- ya it sounds a little "femme" but I don't care. I saw a 95lb girl tackle a big fear before noon and I saw 4 friends from the other side of the planet "Hook Up" with 3 other people from completely different cultures share the experience of a lifetime -- and I saw a couple spend their wedding anniversary together doing something exciting and out of the "norm" for such the occasion... Who brought this special day together?  None other than Hawaii's Finest Scuba Diving Company.

My sincerest thanks goes out to Eunyee(who I'll see for the next 3 days), Brad & Amanda for letting us help in their enduring romance and to Riko for putting together an Adventure that her 3 friends will never forget.


Mahalo Nui Loa!

Another Exciting Day Scuba Diving With The Rainbow Scuba Team!

Aloha Rainbow Scuba Fans!                                                                             

Wow! I gotta admit... I love diving so much that I sometimes forget that it's my job! As I sit down at my keyboard I realize how busy we here at Rainbow Scuba Company have been lately -- that's a good kind of exhaustion -- right?

Yesterday's PADI Certified  Scuba Diver's put me throught the ringer! They showed up BRIGHT and Early to get a jump on the rest of the fleet... Destination --  Shipwreck Diving in Waikiki! -- Target site... The Sea Tiger!

When I say BRIGHT --  I MEAN IT!


(The Hawaiian Sun Was Blazin' on these Scuba Divers -- Who Obviously Had Coffee and Smiles for Breakfast!)

It was to my surprise that the next four people you're about to meet were so full of Vigor and eager to get on out to The Sea Tiger for some Deep Shipwreck Diving! I know everyone's excited when they're sitting and posing for the group picture before I even have my camera out of the Bag!

Say Good Morning to Sarah, Stephan, Margaret & Maury!


(These 4 were geared up, smiling and ready to take the plunge before the rest of the fleet was even moored up!)

After all the GIANT STRIDES were done and everyone was "feet wet" we took time for a great momento shot!


(While everyone else was still floundering down the line -- Stephan,Sarah Maury & Margaret were crusin' at the stern!)

These Hardcore Divers took it to heart when I said "Rainbow Scuba Divers Take the lead when it comes to wasting no time splashing down to the shipwreck -- First in see's the best things!"

Case in point -- Great views of the Froggy -- before they get disturbed by the other 25 divers


(Maury & Margaret Up Close & Personal to say "Hey" to the Frogfish on The Sea Tiger's Rail)


(Stephan & Sarah Were Right behind them!)

These PADI OPEN WATER DIVERS were at their finest -- even before my adrenaline had kicked in! 

I told them I could show them the whole shipwreck so relax and enjoy... YOU KNOW THEY DID!


(Cheers from 100 Feet Below! You can almost hear the clanking of the bottles!)

I hardly needed to guide them through the swim-throughs and passage ways toward the ascent line... These guys had MAD DIVING SKILLS -- Rainbow A-TEAM of the Month for Sure!

We headed westward to cruise Horshoe Reef & Kewalo Pipe for the 2nd part of our Waikiki Reef Dive. This is where they slowed down to take some "together time."


(Stephan & Sarah Diving around HS REEF together -- as married couple tend to do -- so nice.)


(Margaret & Maury took it one level HIGHER with this lovable shot along the "PIPE")

I truly hope these two couples remember this mornings dive as I do... Diving with new friends is memorable in so many ways. I can't wait to see them again when we shoot for the YO-257 on the Continuing Adventures of Rainbow Scuba!

Mahalo Ka Kou' to Margaret & Maury -- Sarah & Stephan for getting my day off on the right fin!

Because it gets even Better!

The afternoon Discover Scuba Diving in Hawaii was a melting pot of visitors from 3 different countries! Always a fun time getting to meet New Divers and take them to the Reefs of of Waikiki!


(Asad, Rayhan,Philip,Alan & Susan -- Nobody worried here!)

These New "Discover Scuba" Divers all met aboard the Enzo -- Captain Mike Bishop at the Helm -- were confident and excited to go Scuba Diving for the 1st time in their lives on a beautiful day off the Famous Waikiki Shores!


(Capt. Mike In a good Mood with a Full Boat!)

They took to it like it was second nature -- I was extremely surprised -- no floaters -- no problems and no disappointments.

Check them all out in these Rainbow Scuba Complimentary Underwater Photos!


(Philip cool as the other side of the pillow!)


(Susan feeding the Butterfly-Fish like she was feeding the family cat!)


(Alan seemed eager to see Turtles at T.C. -- never a problem!)


(Asad saw me help his brother with the "Pebble Urchin Trick" and didn't wait -- he figured ot out himself! These guys were Sharp)


(Then He figured out the Feeding time by watching Susan's lead!)  


(Rayhan would lead the Seashell Hunt -- Before his brother Asad could get the Jump on it!)

We all headed to Kewalo Pipe and rounded out the day diving around getting to know each other better -- these folks had such a good time that they talked for hours throughout the journey -- all bragging how they saw it first!

On behalf of the Rainbow Scuba Team I want to each and every one of these divers -- who put me to the test -- and pushed me to "Show them MORE!" Achallenge that makes my job nothing but -- it's more like "just hangin' out" with friends on a casual day of Scuba Diving in Hawaii!

So my friends you can stand in the duggout or get in the game! Call us today for your turn at the plate for an "At Bat" take your homerun swing at Scuba Diving with Us -- We'll keep a space ready for ya!

Until Tomorrow!

Mahalo & Aloha!
