Squid Scars?

Once again Susan has taken an awesome photo of a Pilot Whale. This guy swam right under the boat. Check the circle scars just behind the dorsal fin. Squid scars or Cookie cutters?

SEAQUEST IS BACK!

The recent tsunami that we experienced on 11 March did damage our office but not our boats or our spirits. We were up and running two days later. Once again the sun is shining and Lake Kona has returned to her beautiful, calm, clear self. Luckily, there was no damage to the Keauhou pier or any of our snorkel sites. So please come join us as we explore the beautiful and rugged Kona Coast!

Not a whale...

Apparently the patch on the water line didn't hold when the water was turned back on after the tsunami.

More Tail

Still a few whales hanging in there but most are on their way back to Alaska. This mom doesn't feel her calf can make the trip yet. Eric sent these shots in from his whale watch with Capt'n Steve and Susan (her narration gets pretty intense sometimes). Mahalo Eric!

Blow

With Keauhou in the background one lone Humpback takes a breath before disappearing into the big blue. Thanks to Renee for this shot!

Captain James Cook

232 years ago today Captain James Cook was struck down on the shores of Ka'awaloa in Kealakekua Bay. If you want to hear the whole story sign up for a trip with us.



I think there is something else going on today too...

Hey Man, Nice Shot

First thing this morning we came across a pod of Humpbacks, good way to start the day! Thanks to Brenda and Ken for sending in this tail shot. The barnacles from Alaska won't last long in the warm Hawaiian waters.
