Tiger Sharks and Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins - September 12, 2024

What a fantastic day of diving in Kona! Everything fell in line, with the exception of decent visibility (kind of important 🤣)...If we had that, it would have been perfect. Anyway, it was still pretty cool. I haven't had Tigers and Dolphins in the same frame for close to three years (I think). Today it happened twice.

That's not bad viz either! I'd say it was very close to perfect. The tiger shark didn't look like the resident female. (I don't remember her name offhand)

The viz wasn’t really very good. Very cloudy and milky. Neither shark was Laverne. There are quite a few other sharks that frequent the area. I haven’t seen Laverne for a few months.

@@nyfrogman Thanks for writing back. Re-reading, I was about as clear as the water. I meant to say the dive was close to perfect, not the viz. I hope Laverne is just off doing her shark thing and will return again.

@@tcoiler Thanks. Yes, she comes and goes, as she has for over 20 years. It’s always a relief when we see her return.
