Baby Barge, YO257 & Fantasy reef! August 3rd

Having a beautiful day we set out for the Sunday 3 Tank dive, with a great crew, great student divers and certified divers and definitely the best Instructor we all left the Koko marina in direction to the Baby Barge, after a short 20 minute boat ride we arrived did a buddy check and dived into the blue. With a medium current we descended and head to the Shark caves to find two adult White tip reef sharks, then head back to the barge to find a third shark and the father of all turtles, with approximate 138 years old.

After a surface interval with cookies red vines and cold water we got ready to go for our second dive of the day on the YO257. We went down into a cloud of butterfly fish, Banner fish and a juvenile Eagle ray. This is a great site for Jacks, parrot fish and lots, lots of fish. The Wreck itself is beautiful and cover on yellow cup coral!

In between dives we had a nice ham, cheese and lettuce sub accompanied with apples, hazelnuts and brie cheese and in order to burn all the calories we went diving to the Fantasy reef where we found moray eels, a bunch of turtles and on octopus cruising the reef. After all these I do not imagine any other way to end the week!

Congratulations to Link and Peter on completing the Advanced Open water course! And special thanks to Jeremy and Mark!
