RIDERS ON THE STORM 29 november

take a long holiday, in the ocean play.  Well, no storm, but weird winds gave us occasionally huge waves, and a fun ride on the Fox. but waves are never a problem when Captain Joe is driving, as he knows how to move the boat through them (unless he gets a fish on the line) as smoothly as possible!  Under the surface the diving was epic, as the shark population at LCU seems to grow everyday!  and we divers are loving it.  plus the rays are consistently flying around.  current was moderate to strong, but not a problem, and viz was good.  no frog fish today, but the sharks and rays more than made up for it!  2nd jump was a drift of Fantasy reef, and the current was mild, allowing us to move back and forth across the spectacular lava formations, spotting huge turtles, sharks, lots of eels, some octopus, and more eagle rays!  great day of diving!  thanks to all for safe diving!  larry, captain joe, kelsea
