OCTOPI OR OCTOPUSES ? 28 June

according to Webster’s it’s octopuses,  which is what we saw today – lots of octopuses!  which means a great day of diving.  3 open water students, alex, will, and solomon joined us for dives 1/2, working with David and his 5 DMCs!  they got lots of attention.  and ward, kelly, and dana joined me for some cruising in the blue. first stop was Koko craters, and Flora led us over to Secrets ledge , spotting eels and turtles along the way.  the current starting picking up significantly, so we headed over to the back crater mooring, did some more turtle watching and found an octopus peeking out of his little puka.  he came out for a swim around with us! Fantasy reef was jump two, and it is always beautiful there, so much to see!  despite some strong current we saw more turtles, big eels, an huge octopus, sponge crabs, slipper lobster, and coral shrimp!  we just had a blast!  thanks to all for safe diving!  larry, david, flora, joe, and kelsea
