4/12 Everybody Do The Shark Shake
Saturday – Nearly ideal tidal conditions allow us to pick any site we want. And today I’m picking Koko’s and Spitting Caves. Koko’s is ideal for some navigation work for Erica, our newest Advanced Open Water student, who was working today on Advanced Nav, and Peak Performance Buoyancy. Also, the ease of the site allows already certified diver Brent from Australia to shake the rust off from not having dove (diven?) for a bit, and Arthur and Joe get some extra diving experience. Next up is Spitting Caves! This site is rare to dive on, as the conditions have to be really good (read:perfect) but I love it because there’s always sweet stuff to see. How about white tip reef sharks? On an afternoon Fox? Yup, Three. One big’un and two little tiny babies. Well, 2 foot babies. We get up close and personal to get some neat footage, and then it’s time to move on. Nice work Erica on day one of your AOW, and to all you other divers out there, stay safe.
White tip sighted!
