Yesterday we were suppose to do a club boat dive. The dive was cancelled because of bad weather. So a group of us decided we would do a shore dive somewhere. About 12 of us headed out to a place called Pray For Sex Beach. This is mainly a local beach on the Waianae side of the island. The real name of the beach is Yokohama Bay. We had people to watch our vehicles for the first dive. Everything went great. There was a few people that stuck around for a second dive. I decided not to do a second dive because on the first one I got rolled up in the surf. Was not fun. I took a nap in the car. Was woke up with Kenny knocking on the window of the car. The guy Kenny was diving with, Steve, is here for a couple of months on vacation. Steve had a rental car parked about 50 feet from our car. His car was gone!! Some one had been watching and as soon as these guys got in the water, stole the car. I felt so bad for him. He had his wallet in the car and about $800 in diving equipment. We waited almost 2 hours for a police officer to show up!!! His response was, they are very busy. Couldn't believe it!! Sure glad it wasn't a real emergency!! Of course no one saw anything, not even the guy right next to Steve's car. All Hawaiian locals at this spot. Needless to say, we won't be going back out there to dive. Kenny and I took Steve back to Bellows where he is staying and fed him dinner. Told him if he needed something to let us know. If I would have went on that 2nd dive, I think we would have been in the same situation.

Had to post more diving pictures. Don't know if you can tell but these are pictures of a shark I took. He was in a cave. At one point we thought he was coming out....scared me to death for a moment there. It was pretty cool seeing him this close.




















Then always love the turtles. They are just so cool! I love how they swim around ya like they are waiting to be feed. Every once in awhile they get close enough that I can rub the back or touch thier belly. Awesome!

A couple of pictures from our wreck dive. Can't tell by looking at this but I am between the props of a huge ship.


This other picture you can just about see the sub behind me. Not a very good picture.



















This is a picture of Natasha. She is 10 years old and a certified scuba diver. She saved cans and bottles to save up for her diving lessons. She now has 7 dives in and goes with us on the weekends. Her mother has been diving for years.
