Baby Sharks and Hawksbill 17 March 2014

It was a little bit of a windy day today but the diving was wonderful off the southeast side of Oahu. We had a small group for divers with Roger and Sharon diving on the LCU this morning.  The viz was great with 100ft+ and there was a mild current on the bottom. Right away we found a frogfish sitting on the side of the wreck and an octopus under one of the cement blocks near by. Under the wreck we found a large white tip reef shark relaxing, but the great find was the two baby white tips resting under a block to the side of the ship.  There was also a large school of yellow stripe goatfish swimming around the area.

For the second dive we motored in to a more protected area from the wind and choppy seas to dive Turtle Canyons. There were a few eels about including a large white mouth morey. We also had a lot of green sea turtles resting around the reef but we were surprised to find a hawksbill turtle as well.  It was a great relaxing dive in a calm area.
