An Awesome Afternoon! (AUG4)

There was so much to see today out in the water! We set off this afternoon with a group of 9 divers and some awesome weather. We had two students who were finishing up their certifications and were excited to finish up their skills.

At our first site, students and certified divers got to spend a lot of time with the turtles. There were so many today! It was as though every corner we came to there was another turtle. It sure made for an awesome dive.

Of course there were tons of eels, as always, and we got up close and personal with a few of them.

Right as we were ascending, a huge school of fish surrounded the boat and gave us something awesome to look at as we made our way back aboard the Sea Fox.

Over at the second site, we had even better visibility. With less of a current, divers had a bit more time to spend on the bottom since we didn’t seem to use as much air. That was cool because we got to see many different kinds of fish then we saw at the first site.

There were so many urchins as well, and they all were tucked into their own little holes along the reef edge. It was great to see a lot of new fish, I even snagged this photo of the white leaf scorpion fish that I have seen around!

It was another great afternoon aboard the Sea Fox and we came back into the marina with 2 new PADI Junior Divers! Congrats!
