I was pretty much only a diver until I bought my ski.  I always Loved fishing but just never had much luck with it back when I had a boat. About a month before I actually purchase my Jetski friend of...

The crew decided to dive out on the East Side of Oahu in hopes for some clean water and a lot of fish. The weather projected to be good, but that morning the winds had already picked up. Luckily we brought the poles because all the inside shallower spots were very murky. We went into deeper grounds where Ryan ran into a Ulua Slob and I sobbed as a 60+ Ono swims away from me. Enjoy!  

  Bluewater spearfishing can be the most boring type of spearfishing at times. Unlike reef diving where there is a lot more life swimming around and nice corals to look at.

The first dive trip I went on with the Venture Crew was memorable nonetheless. We ran into some of the dumbest fish on some of the most untouched grounds.  For whatever reason, the photos and videos from this trip back in 2016 was uploaded on a thumb drive and misplaced. Up until now I was able to find all the lost footage and photos from an epic trip with the boys.
