Sorry about all that! I just want to make sure you are trained as a open water diver before you try this cache!

Align yourself between the 3 skylights on the large beach home and the western tip of Lanai Island. Head straight out towards the western tip of I recommend snorkeling out and looking for the wreck. Once you spot the wreck then drop down. Be Very Careful of the King Kahekili’s moray eel that Guards this Cache. Gently remove the dead coral heads that are stacked to hide the cache and log and take a photo. Do not remove the dice, roll them and record your score.
There are many divers in this area. Be careful not to give the location away. Be sure to secure the basket and hide it well.

All Items in the Cache are exposed to the water. If you are placing something in it remember think small and something that can be wet for months and that will not float. (Gold and Silver Bars are Recommend)

Items: yellow log book, and pencil, Frog, Underwater Camera, Brass Dice to Roll, Batman, a Custom Massage toy. A gold earring from Diana – Ps Heidi No you can’t Have it.
