GREAT SURFING ON THE SOUTH SHORE !! 17 May

Lots of surfers out today on this beautiful Saturday afternoon, as the south shore was pumping beautiful waves!  well, our intrepid Open Water students were also pumped to go diving!  the surface outside the channel was not bad, but the viz in our usual spots was really down, so captain joe took us over to Fantasy Reef, one of my absolute favorite dive sites.  we tied up on the center mooring and i ventured down with students Fred, ali’i, and Vanessa.  TJ had student Aspen, her Dad, and special guest diver – TJ’s mom!  the surge was strong, and the viz was only 50 feet, but that was much better than the 10 foot viz on the shallower sites.  lots of huge turtles looming out of the gloom, barracudas, loads of reef fish, and the beautiful topography of this site gave us a fantastic two dives.  our students had no problems with the surge or their underwater skills, so an easy and fun day for staff!  thanks to all for a great job underwater, and to joe and max on the boat!  larry
