MAGIC CARPET RIDE !! May 13

wow, fun day today!  blue skies and the return of the trade winds made for smooth sailing out to our Baby Barge mooring.  Matt hooked up the line and said, with a smile, that there was some ‘moderate’ current.  haha!  jumping in, i discovered that his idea of moderate was the same as my idea of pretty darn strong!  super-manning our way down the line, we saw turtles swimming hard to get anywhere!  then you know!!  finding some shelter in the bulk of the barge, we explored around the wreck  (no chance for shark cave today!) finding huge turtles and whitetip sharks! plus morays and banded coral shrimp.  after a bit of bottom crawl into the current, we rose up for a nice ride on that magic carpet of current right back to the down line and back onto the Sea Fox! out today were a nice group of folks from california, DC, NYC, and Utah!  all experienced divers who rode the current with no problems.  2nd jump was a drift of spitting caves.  after a nice drop by captain joe, and clean descents by all, we grouped up and drifted along that spectacular wall!  turtles, sharks, schools of fish, and 3 scorpion fish appeared , despite the viz being a bit green.  thanks to all for great diving,  larry
