SQUID HEAD!! 17 september

A blast diving today – winds are down, so hot and sticky above water, but perfect under the sea!!  Captain Joe took us over to the LCU, as we were hoping for some sharks hanging around under the wreck.  Still some south swell, but basically pretty flat seas, so real nice surface conditions.  We moored up and dropped in, lots of moving plankton, but decent viz, around 80 feet.  The sharks were there, at least five good sized white tips, who posed for our photogs!  No eagle rays in sight, but some nice eels!  2nd jump was a drift of the world famous Spitting Cave, and it came through big time.  So much to see over there, with majestic, dramatic walls, canyons, and caves to explore, as well as myriad types of marine life, from large to small.  Huge turtles, big eels, scorpion fish, a baby octopus, and a flock (Davy’s word) of 8 squid.  Thanks to squid head mike (see photo), Joshua from Seattle/arizona (hot!), William from disneyland, and the boys of HSU drew, jon, and neal for safe diving.  larry and captain joe
