Drifting the Barges 5/14
On this excellent Hawaiian morning we began our day with a ripping current, so we decided that we were going to drift barges. We started out at the shark cave at the baby barge and ended in shore of the New barge. The visibility was incredible 120 +, we had some massive turtles and some large moray eels. After doing a 30 minute dive we surfaced, getting picked up by the smiling Captain Joe. After a 45 minute surface interval we hopped in at Anglers’ reef. Utilizing the lines on the way down and then disconnecting the boat we drifted a quarter mile and a 42 minute dive. A big thanks to all our divers that came out today it was an excellent day to go diving.
