LOVE THOSE MONK SEALS!! 8 september

Gorgeous day today above and below the surface.  Great group, with 2nd day of diving for Mark, Amy, Jane, and Kurt. Also out were grubby (that’s right, he likes that name) and Jeanie from Virginia, plus Trina from Chicago!  Max was out was some DMCs, and we tried to dive the Corsair, but the current was too strong, so we headed over to baby barge and drifted from the shark cave to big barge and beyond.  Great viz and we saw turtles and octopus, plus large schools of fish along the way!  2nd jump was another drift, and we dropped at fish garden, seeing shoaling fusiliers and lots of feeding butterfly fish.  Two big treats today as we cruised along, we saw four big fin squid, which did  the squid dance for us.  Always fun to see!  Then inside the A-frame cave, a big monk seal, who just hung out in the cave, breathing from the exhaled air trapped on the surface!  great fun, great conditions, and great divers!  thanks to all for safe diving.  larry, max, and kendal.
