GONE WITH THE WIND! 23 december

well, a bit windy today, but beneath the waves the diving was excellent!  the Landing Craft Unit (LCU) is the place to see sharks these days, which is, of course, what all divers want to see! so off we went with crew favorite captain sheila driving the Sea Hound.  current was a bit stiff, but we moored up and got down the line and cruised under the wreck!  3 nice Whitetip sharks were hanging about and we enjoyed their company for a bit.  heading out we saw two  eagle rays cruising right by, as well as a good sized barracuda on a collision course with them.  there was a bit of a flurry, but then they all just moved on!  also saw a nice frog fish hanging upside down on the wreck. great dive!   2nd jump was Fantasy reef, as always a beautiful dive site, with spectacular topography of arches and chimneys.  plus the giant green sea turtles that also love it!  lots of coral and reef fish, plus another huge eagle ray!  thanks to all for safe diving,  larry, captain sheila
