Wild Waters (SEPT29)

It was an enjoyable afternoon aboard the Sea Fox for today’s dives! We had a small group of only four divers and since we were all certified, we had a lot of options for our site choices.

At Koko Crater, we dropped into some rather warm waters. There was a bit of surge, but it wasn’t anything that our divers couldn’t handle. We saw lots of turtles and eels and came across a rather unique crab that was something new to all of our divers.

As usual, we saw lots of turtles who didn’t even seem phased by the surge that was coming across the crater.

At our second site, we decided that we would drift along the ledge that connects Pa’a’awa and Secret crater, which was teeming with schools of fish. It was rather enjoyable mingling with this underwater crowd.

We came across some rather large pufferfish as well, who seemed just as interested in us as we were of them. We surfaced and made our way back the boat, and made our way back to the marina.

 

Thanks for coming out this afternoon everyone!
