Moloka'i Diving

I was extremely blessed in past couple of days for my opportunity to go up to the island of Moloka'i for a diving trip. My buddy Derek LeVault invited me to sail up to Moloka'i with him and his friend Victor to go and do some spearfishing. Victor the boat captain sailed us through the channel on his 32 ft sailboat overnight in relatively ruff seas. I was surprised on his sailing abilities considering how little sleep he got. The weather wasn't too great during the trip and because of the north swell we weren't able to dive on the north side of the island. We ended up doing well though, we got a bunch of good fish and found some nice reefs to dive on. It was also really cool to see lobsters in some of the reef holes in moloka'i, though we didn't end up catching any.  I was especially stoked on the mus and uku I shot. Heres a pic of some of the better fish i ended up shooting. We also got a bunch of uhus, goats, rois, and other reef fish.
