Sharing the Ocean 7/27

It was a perfect morning for diving today off the southeast side of Oahu. We had a great group of divers as we made our way out to the Corsair for the first dive.  The viz was wonderful as we could see the wreck from the surface and hit the water right away. There was a huge school of goatfish on the bottom as well as butterflyfish and damselfish swimming around.  It was a great first dive and soon it was time to head up for the next dive.

For the second dive we motored around Diamond Head and dove the YO-257.  Again we had great visibility and little current as we dropped down the line.  There were fish everywhere with snappers, wrasses, and butterflyfish all over the wreck.  There were also a couple turtles on the wreck.  We had a great dive with the Atlantis sub cruising around and wonderful fish life all about.

For the last dive we planned to drift the wall at Portlock but with a paddleboard race happening we changed plans with too many boats around.  We headed to Anglers Reef which had great viz and nice calm conditions for a great relaxing last dive.  There was great life around the reef with tons of fish life.  There were a few eels hiding around the reef with an undulated morey and a couple yellowmargin moreys about. We also found a few scorpionfish and a couple leaf scorpionfish hiding on the reef. It was a great end to the day and a wonderful end to the weekend.
