Tuesdays with Moray (AUG26)

It was a very calm day this afternoon aboard the Sea Fox. With just a couple of divers aboard today, we had the chance to go around and explore some of the deeper sites. For our first dive, we decided it would be a good idea to drift over Fantasy Reef to get some great views of the reef.

 

We dropped down onto schools of fish that were awesome! We headed west towards Diamond head so that we could avoid swimming against the current. Following the zig zag patterns across the reef, we got to see a lot that it had to offer.

We got to spend some time with the green sea turtles that inhabit the reef and got much closer than we had expected!

Wehad a great time going through the arches and through the canyons that the reef had formed. We came across tons of eels and all different kinds of marine life.

We made our way back aboard the Sea Fox to make our way to the next dive site, and we enjoyed a nice snack as well.

We dropped into the second site to come across a ton of moray eels. It felt as though every corner we came across, we saw another one!

We also saw a rather large and friendly pufferfish that swam with us for a bit, which is rather uncommon.

We saw many fish that were camoflauging themselves with their surroundings. It was fun to spot them along the reef edge.

We made our way back aboard the Sea Fox in record time and enjoyed a nice fresh cut pineapple on our way back in. Such a great way to spend the afternoon. Thanks so much for coming out!
