Sandy Point, Kihei, Maui, 3/30/09
Date 3/30/09
Site: Sandy Point, Kihei, Maui - Offshsore Jack Nicholson's Beach House
Dive Time: 60 min.
Max Depth: 47 fsw
Visibility: 80+ feet
Water Temp: 73F
Buddies: Nancy, Wes, Colby
Stepped into liquid and free fell to about 30 feet then headed offshore. There was a lot of sand with intermittent reef structure. Soon came across a big sea turtle napping under a ledge, and ran across two others paddling about the reef. All were very healthy specimens and quite unconcerned about divers. Soon our dive master David came across a tako (octopus), about four pounds or so. It didn't take much to coax him out of his den and he was soon siphoning away from us leaving a trail of ink. David was able to catch him and he seemed content at that point to rest in his arms as we pet him. Suddenly he darted toward Nancy and lodged himself amidst the high pressure hoses of Nancy's first stage regulator. As we tried to dislodge him, he stubbornly gripped the hoses and even put an arm across the front of Nancy's mask and one across the front of her neck. The latter action left a nice hickey that was the subject of fodder on the boat after the dive.... anyway, after we left him alone, we decided to continue on. At that point he lifted his head up out of the hoses and, hanging on to the tank valve, rode along as free as a biker on a Harley on Route 66. Looked like he was having fun, but soon tired of it and darted down into the reef where he immediately changed color to match his surroundings. I'd never seen an octopus that big, or that bold - it was amazing! Lots of tropical fish on this dive including a mated couple of raccoon butterfly fish. After a nice long hour dive we surfaced and soon headed in.
I must say I'm very happy with B&B Scuba. They were knowledgeable about sites, quick to lend a hand with gear and very service oriented. Thanks also to Brad who was instructing Blake and did a fantastic job all day. Blake had a great time while he was learning and he's only two dives from getting his open water certification. Of course on this dive I was really kicking myself for not bringing the camera. Not too sure if I'll get an opportunity to take a picture of an octopus wrapped around Nancy's head like that again!! Oh well... I just felt under the circumstances I couldn't afford to be distracted from watching the family. |

| i guess the problem is acsbuee you are defining the variables like $username and $password before checking if the register button is pressed.Try including the variables inside the check. eg :if($_POST['submit']){ $username=$_POST['username']; $password=$_POST['password'];}This worked for me!Hope it works for u too.happy diwali!cheers |
