FANTASY IN THE AFTERNOON !! 2 Oct.

Nice treat today as we had 5 certified divers, so we decided to head out to Fantasy  Reef, which is usually only a morning dive on the advanced boat!  it is such a great dive site, and despite the low viz (lots of plankton, low tide, and big waves) we had a great dive with the huge turtles that inhabit the nooks and crannys of this wonderful volcanic creation!  several great barracuda were cruising around, big eels, and lots of various reef fish.  steve, gayle, courtney, and kerlyn, a great family of Kiwis from NZ were out, as well as rachael and andrew, with andrew doing his first ocean dive, after getting certified in a quarry back on the mainland!  2nd dive was Turtle Canyons, and it was very nice, seeing more friendly turtles close up, plus eels, and schooling fish.  thanks to all for safe diving!   larry, kellen, max
