6/27 Day 20 of Strong Current in the AM

Friday – At leas that’s what it feels like. Moving out to the corsair, we find that we’re unable to dive the location because of super strong current. So we make our way over to the LCU, an awesome site for seeing schools of fish, and, it turns out, escaping the current. While the water ripped 50 feet above our heads, we finned around rather calmly. Saw some eels, some fish swimming upside down, and a ton of relatively unexciting concrete. From there we went over to Fantasea, where we got dropped a little far to the west because of that same strong current, and caught the north edge of the dive site. Saw some awesome dascillus, tried not to get bit by a green headed eel, and surveyed some huge coral stag heads. I made that name up. Deal with it.

Green head eel, not happy I woke him.

Gotta get those shakas in.
