Current State of the Currents 6/1

It was a wonderful Sunday for the three tanker today. We had great weather and and awesome group of people as we headed out to the LCU for the first dive.  There was some current as we got down the line but viz was wonderful.  We had a frogfish right away on the bottom under the mooring and a large school of goatfish swimming about. Cruising around the wreck we found butterfly fish and moorish idols but sadly no white tip reef sharks today.

For the second dive we motored around Diamond Head and dove the YO-257. It was spectacular down there with over 100 ft visibility but there was again some moderate current. The fish were everywhere with pennant butterflyfish and blue stripped snapper swimming about as well as a spotted eagle ray just off the wreck in to blue water. We also found a couple turtles resting on the bottom near the bow of the wreck. It was a fun dive with the Atlantis sub cruising around and great marine life.

For the final dive we decided on a shallow reef dive as the winds had picked up and bit and the surface was getting a little choppier. We tied up at Turtle Canyons for the last dive and had a nice relaxing final dive. We found a lot of eels about the area as well as a couple more turtles. It was a nice mellow way to end the dive day.
