No mantas on afternoon dive. Monk Seal during surface integral.<br>
Upon decent we had Lightning Vicky and Orion. Then the departed. We toured the dive site hoping to find dense concentrations of planktonic but to no avail. About 25 minutes later Vicky and Orion returned to feed at the lights.<br>
On night dive plankton eventually reached a 2 at the lights.<br>
Five boats. Jack's x 2. Breeze. Miss Mojo and Ocean Encounters.<br>
Good luck Tuesday.<br>

On the night dive I saw two females, Koie and Vickey and two males Orion and Ralph's.<br>
Plankton reached a 3 over the reef and a 1 at the lights.<br>
Twenty Two Boats.<br>
Jack's x 2. KOA x 2. Kamanu, Pueo Kai. Nature School. Miss Mojo. Liquid Hi. Big Isle x 3. Kona Honu. Coral Reef Adventures, Wicked Wahine, Splashers, Hang Loose. Ocean Encounters. Kona Honu. Kona Dive Co. Neptune Charlie's. Torpedo Tours.<br>
On a side bar a fishing boat dropped their anchor right in the coral south of the south buoys. They even put a snorkeler in the water to help place the anchor. I got video of the anchor and chain right up to the boat's name and back down again which I'll share appropriately later. Shortly after that 2 more boats dropped near by and also in the coral.<br>
I'd like this site to remain healthy but that's not gonna happen w thoughtless or incompetent operators dropping anchors on coral.<br>
