before we get started just like to go over a couple things with you what's going to happen first we're going to usher you into the van we're going to take a twenty minute ride up to your course where you get to meet your guides they're going to get you geared up we're going to go for another twenty minute ride up to the top of the course give you a safety briefing with me all the ins and outs on how to safely supply you with zip for times will break go to a beautiful go our guys know what we're going to do before we get you geared up we're going to ask you remove anything from your pockets the harnesses right along your pocket so anything in there can be a little bit discomforting so if you guys stand up first thing you want to use you want to take you least dominant hand the hand that you do not right with a place in the middle of the blue tether serves two purposes one gives your hand somewhat ago and secondly it prevents you from flipping upside down flipping in zipping sounds like fun  but it's pretty dangerous these harnesses aren't designed for that your second hand the hand that you do right with two or three fingers right through the top caribbean or right just like that just proper take off physician what we're going to do now is a series of calls back and forth between lou i myself and we tell you to go all you do is simply walk down the steps at some point during your descent the hardest is going to pick up your body weight and off your zip and most importantly why you want to do you want to seventy's there wasn't any dive shops but i mediately fell in love with the beautiful blue ocean and the diving we have here and i thought to myself well that was my goal were going to have a dive shop so i did odd jobs and save my money and eventually in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight was able to open our first dive louis there was much tourism then but later as the years progressed and they started to build hotels on my own we took every opportunity presented to us to expand our company so today we have seven mile we dive shops three boats a restaurant and were employed about one hundred people and we've grown the company for these last thirty five years and we have i think a wonderful staff my wife and kids are it's a family business we all work in it together aside from our professional dive services and the expansion we've done into surfing and kayaking and be checked it is our most exciting project is the neues a one hundred passenger sixty five foot long traditional hawaiian sailing catamaran and it's quite an operation it starts off the day with pick up on our van fleet from your hotel right to the boat we pride ourselves in giving you the service of royalty we call it and on our boat you'll see that you have me food excellent service a crew of seven or eight staff to wait on you help you in the water out of the water we have the top notch diving gear we'll be introducing our diving on our boat soon and it's a wonderful new sport it's kind of a combination of snorkeling and scuba diving and to finish off your day there's a wonderful sail back from the dive site to the harbor and back into the vans and we deliver you back to your hotel with a big smile on your face after all your fun is our business our next and it's everywhere in between ok it's a bowl so how long the edge right here you're going to have the three feet deep area on the back wall right here you're going to have three hundred feet of depth back here and in the center reef which is out in this particular area you're going to have about sixty to eighty three today we're going to be diving an area over here called that in the new eastside of mali kenya creator it's a beautiful spot there's tons and tons of fish life is really really phenomenal and cor ok that sunlight with the clarity of the water needs to permeate all the way down through the clear water to get to the coral and the third thing that the coral needs to really grow in right is water movement molik unique readers about three and a half miles from the closest part of about thirty thirty five feet of water we're going to drop me and i'll show you how we're going to get off the boat just a minute we're going to drop it and here off of the back and we're going to work really really slowly all the way over to this any new side over here maximum depth on this dive it's going to be about forty let's talk a little bit about what we're going to see i know you've been diving in hawaii before the coral structure here in hawaii looks like this some of the stuff we're going to see right here and you may or may not realize but one of the really really unique things an interesting things about t is that we are one of the most isolated places in the entire world first scuba diving or for anything while he has only twenty one hundred not a couple miles away from anything else that what that means is we have some of the this tablet right here a fish are what are called butterfly fish ok the butterfly fish you can find in a lot of tropical climates or in indonesia and there are enough florida there in australia that type of stuff whenever you see this pattern that guy is commonly thought of being in the butterfly fish family it's called the more each item ok we're going to see it today but it but it is not in the butterfly fish family ok now a couple more things that i want to tell you about butterfly fish is certain butterfly around and then the other one they'll spend their whole life swimming around together it's kind of a cool little romantic thing that's going on underwater some of the other stuff we're going to see right here octopus or in hawaiian they call this taco our typical taco is about that size right there they're bought a pound and a half or two pounds they're brown in color but they can change in color and texture just like that they can change from just brown color to that particular color and texture what want we to look for is the habitat where the octopus is if this coral here if this table was a coral that you want to look for a little hole about this big with a pile of rubble or broken stolen or coral and the octopus is using that to hide masters of deception they shoot super super smart really really fun to see these guys are called grasses this is called the bird grass and you will see these around quite a bit the other one i want to point out to is on this ship an endemic fish called the whole y and rainbow cleaner wrasse ok what's really really neat about this guy and this is my cleaner station hand signal ok it's really really good about the cleaner wrasse is there's a whole symbiotic relationship where fish will come in to clean the roots of coming to pick parasites all that kind of stuff off of it it's a it's a good it's a great great situation these guys are called blue straight snapper was it introduced game fish to hawaii in one thousand fifty six and you'll find these guys all over there going to hang out underneath the boat when we get the trumpet fish there are several versions yeah here in hawaii that's the snowflake the zero zero zero and we actually have one that's kind of an amber color with a yellow stripe called the yellow margin you know it goes down and down it's back turtles we have lots and lots of green sea turtles in hawaii there are because the little fish with the giant name these guys are really good more about some turtles going to help chris get her people in the water and then we'll go ahead and get in the water now i'm going to get in the water first the insurance guy likes it better that way ok so i'm going to get in the water first and then one of the other crew members i hope to get seated up here suited up here and we'll walk  way down to the easiest way to get off this post will take this gate down is what your take on we're going to walk all the way down to the bottom between this railing and that stance and down there and standing up here in a giant straight entry you're going to go in border this way and inside the boat
