Diver's Notes

First night dive. Easy water entry at the Point Panic stairs. Followed the Kewalo Harbor channel to the south, skirting the channel edge.

Minor surges at the bottom with okay visibility. Ended dive when dive partner reached 490 PSI. Made ascent to the surface and did surface swim of about 600 yards to the exit point. Moderate surf at he surface made return leg somewhat difficult.
