The Forbidden Island of Niihau

Chad Hearne, Paul McDonnell, Dane Nakama, and Sean 'Stody' Stodelle all chartered a boat out of Kauai to dive Niihau. The trip was full of interesting happenings such as sharks, shallow water blackouts, and rough seas.

Same regulations as flying with any airline. Must be in checked baggage and meet airline size limits.

Was really bad conditions, not quite the number of fish one would assume, and the water was dirty. Beides, it was all about diving and video camera only came out for a few hours on a multi day trip. Interested in seeing how youwould make a video with the same condition.

owned privately by the robinson 'ohana, hawaiian is spoken almost exclusively on

ni'ihau. there hawaiian families live simply. void of modern roads, hotels and electricity, ni'ihau preserves a uniquely sustainable way of life lost long ago on neighboring islands.

glad you guys returned safely. sad to see all the hate by flaming posters. there are a lot of issues we have to deal with in this world and actions speak louder than words. it seems you have respect for the ocean which is awesome.

my uncle went surfing their before on a boat. There really are some big sharks over their. He told me that him and his friends were eating lunch on the boat and their still was one guy paddling back to the boat. So while they were eating they started to throw their chicken bones into the water and immediately a massive tiger shark showed up and swam right past the guy that was paddling in.

@RicZxx judging by your comments, you seem to be pretty dumb. don't even try to stick up for anything hawaiian, and you have no right to speak for any of us. you're german right? who are you to give lectures about anything when your country committed mass genocide. if you don't like the human civilization, then just go kill yourself because in one way or another, you are contributing to the earth's demise.

@RicZxx Hey there RicZxx if your so intelligent and so worried about the environment why dont you get off your fat ass and do something about it instead of talking crap to people who accualy enjoy what they love to do.. Ohh and by the way fish is already plural, you wouldn't say chineses.. moron! Keep up the good work my fellow men of the sea!

When you catch your own fish, you don't contribute to the big money interests, food inc.... your not spending money that moves through a system thats making people more and more unhealthy . You need to see things from a larger perspective. I drive a 4 banger toyota truck and live a block from the pacific ocean. If you drive more than a 1/4 mile to work you hurt the environment more than when I go fish by your own logic. A lot of times i just walk to go spearfish
