This morning on the Sea Hound we were joined by an international cast of advanced divers. With variable trades and a nearly glass-like surface, the conditions were especially mint for diving. Today’s dive sites: The Corsair & The Sea Cave.

*The Corsair*
105ft – 25min

One HUNDRED foot visibility and a mild current allowed the divers to free descent onto the plane. At the crystal clear bottom the divers hovered over the wreck and got a close encounter with Bertha, the MASSIVE green moray eel that resides in engine compartment of the Corsair. Aside from Big Bertha and the plane, the divers also encountered a school of fusiliers, an octopus, and a field or garden eels.

*Sea Cave*
68ft – 44min

With the current picking up, the divers entered the shelter of the sea cave hopeful for a shark siting. Unfortunately, no sharks today, but they divers encountered many free swimming turtles inside the cave. Outside of the cave the divers encountered a massive school of moorish idols and an assortment of eels and starfish.
