Pearl and Hermes day 2

We started off our morning by visiting "The Pearl". The Pearl is the oldest known shipwreck in Hawaiian waters. We didn't conduct any research at this site but the archeologists thought it would be fun for us to go snorkel on it for a few minutes since it is an important historical site. After snorkeling around for about 20 minutes we made our way back to the "Quartet." The morning started out kind of rough. The swells picked up a little bit today so we were getting tossed around quite a bit during our first dive. I tried to take some video so that I could show you guys what we look like (Derek is on the photoquardrat and Anne is doing rugostisy). I waited for the surge to calm down when I took the video so that my camera would not get beat up. So when you are watching this realize that this is our crew working during the "calm" part of the dive... The next two dives were much better because we were in deeper water. Still a little surgey, but we were not getting tossed around like we were on our first dive. All in all it was another fun and successful day out on the water. We arrive at Kure atoll bright and early tomorrow morning (the northernmost coral reef on an atoll)!
