ADVENTURE !!! 23 august

So much fun today!  we drifted the barges today, and it was truly an adventure.  at first we tried to tie up at the Kahala, but the current gave us a big NO for tying up to the mooring.  when you cannot get the line to the surface because the current is so strong, then it’s time for a barge drift dive!  so Joe brought us over to the shark cave at baby barge and we hit the water.  currents have been strange all summer, so i was only mildly surprised to find ripping current at the surface, and almost none on the bottom!  lots of surge, even at depth!  viz is also down, so we kept together and watched turtles swimming and sleeping as the outlines of the wreck loomed above us. under the wreck was a shark, and we found a huge octopus as we drifted along the ledge!  on our surface interval we jumped in near a pod of spinner dolphins, awesome!!  2nd dive was another drift, this time at Fantasy reef.  we had a blast, seeing turtles, barracuda, crabs, eels, and another octopus!  great fun and adventure today!  thanks to all for safe diving!  Larry and Joe.
