7/1 Monk Seal Sighted! Open Water Students Super Lucky! Party at Koko Craters!
Tuesday – The first sight we went to was Turtle Canyon, a super place to do a bit of compass work and some tank band fix, and full mask removal and replacement — all things that are part of the PADI Open Water Course. We also saw a stargazer eel, and an Eagle Ray! It was just wiating for us to return to the boat. After that we went over to Koko’s where in back crater we found a ton of slipper lobster where, try as I might, could not catch a single stinking one. We made our way over to secret crater where I almost had a fit trying to get people to look at what seemed like a fat snorkeler on the surface, but was actually a super rare monk seal. Cool as a cucumber, one of Pete’s divers snapped a photo. Well done, and congrats to our new Open Water Divers!
