Koko Craters, Turtle Canyons, and a Sea Turtle – April 16

/in /by

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to a new installment of Pete’s Dive Adventures and Rare Sea Creatures. This week our divers went to two dive sites on the afternoon fox, Koko Craters and Turtle Canyons.

This week joining us we had Cody and his dad Robert Sharen, both from upstate Washington doing their first Discover Scuba Diving experience! Great job guys! We also had Rachel Gardener doing her 1st and 2nd open water dives of her open water course. She lives here on the island and flies Blackhawk helicopters for the Army. Also, there was Jon Horn from my home state of Louisiana, be sure to tell Louisiana I said hello man! Last and certainly not least an awesome Aussie couple Chris and Joanne from Bundaberg. Great dives guys!

First dive site was Turtle Canyons and second was Koko Craters where we encountered a very strange sea turtle!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to tune in next time for another edition of Pete’s Dive Adventures and Rare Sea Creatures.

Special thanks to Bryce Bertoli for his help with the turtle!
