Training Dive: SDI Open Water Certification Dive #3/4. Instructor Joe Silvia, SDI #10638, Alaska Scuba Instruction, Lahaina, Maui, HI. Boat dive with Hawaiian Rafting Adventures (Lahaina, Maui, HI).
Dove with Hawaiian Rafting Adventures (Dive Maui) http://www.goscubadivemaui.com/. Rolling backward boat water entry off of dive boat side was a lot of fun. Had to swim on surface switching between snorkel and regulator repeatedly to satisfy SDI skill req. Used a tag line and then a mooring line to bottom depth 60 feet. Used Oceanic Veo 2.0 computer to monitor depth and allowed bottom time. Dive computer is required on all SDI OWD Certification Dives unlike PADI. Repeated some key skills to build confidence. Completed exercise in Underwater Navigation that I requested outside SDI req. When re-boarding the boat the Dive Master pulled out my integrated weight pockets making re-boarding easier. Used a steel cylinder so that I could stay at depth longer than an Aluminum Cylinder. Wore an Aqua Lung Shorty exposure suit size 3X.
Boat: Hoku is a 11.3 meter (37’1”) Naiad built in Rhode Island, delivered May 2009. Is powered with twin 250hp Mercury 4 stroke Verado engines. The boat was custom built for the tank storage and seating on the boat and the rear entry ladders and dive doors with the opening in the transom.
