OTEC Drift for life!!! Hammerhead photo next time, it didn't come close enough for any short of a shot and it was swimming against the current so I didn't have a choice to try and follow it at all. This was a much needed dive.......

Busy Busy.........What can I say I have gone from being a total bum not working for 5 months and living on the beach to working 6 and 7 days a week slaving away for the man so I can pay for a little box to live in. Arrrrrrgh!!! It seems to be one or the other here on the Big Island. Well I'm about half way to losing my mind. Where the fuck is the happy median!
About 2/3 of the school was circling around Ryan, while the rest of them were cruising over, behind and under me. You also have to realize I only caught the tail end of the circling on video. A lot of the Ulua had already stopped circling and were cruising out into the blue before I had started filming. I would say there was somewhere around 400+ Ulua altogether, most of them being around 30-50 lbs but a good number of large ones being close to 100 lbs. It was pretty amazing to catch a glimpse of 3 of them out of the corner of my eye and then by the time I looked up, several hundred of them buzzing past me at mock 10 speed and being able to feel the water rushing by me. Talk about a serious pack of wolves out for some blood; I'm pretty sure every fish on the reef was shaking in there shoes. I know I was.
