Skimming the Shallows (Nov13)

Another great afternoon aboard the Sea Fox! We jumped in the shallow waters for a nice fun dive on this beautiful island.

At Koko Crater, we came across the locals, like the green sea turtle and the pin cushion sea star, but we also came across some new visitiors to this reef.

Schools of Moorish idols were covering this reef today, which is common, but not in such large groups. It was a great way for our first time divers to see them their very first time underwater!

At our second site, Turtle Canyons, we came across yet more schools of fish, most of which we see quite often.

What we were not expecting to see was a few of these spotted eagle rays cruising the shallows while they were feeding on this sunny afternoon.

Another great day divers! Hope to see you again soon!
