A Fantastic Dive Day in Kona for Dive # 5000

I had a great day of diving in Kona today, celebration the milestone of 5000 dives. It took me 37 years to get there. Since I'm now retired, hopefully I will be able to reach 10,000 before my 100th birthday 🤣🤣

congrats on the remarkable 5,000 ! .. that crab's shell is also remarkable. 🐚

Thank you. It's an Anenome Crab and it carries Anenomes on its shell for protection.

Congratulations! That was a great dive. It must have been hard to get out of the water. I just crested 100 at Raja Ampat myself. I think you'll love it when you go this summer. If you can, set aside some time for land excursions. Apparently it was a birding destination first.

Thanks. Nice! I did a bird excursion last time I was there. I don’t think it will be mating season when I’m there in Dec. i’ll definitely check though.
