New Years Eve Currents! Dec 31

DCIM100GOPROGOPR0374.

Wow where did 2014 go? A great year of diving was finished off with a great day of diving! Caroline, Scott, Todd, Penny, Steve, Heike, Christy (AOW), John, Len, Ryan, Oliver, Julie, Ruth, and Sarah joined Everett and I on the Hound as we headed out to LCU to begin our day. The current was hitting hard at the wreck, but all our competent divers used the lines and made it down to see a pair of white tips resting comfortably under the ship…

As we tried to work our way around the ship a curious Barracuda swam up and eyed the group, and then darted back out into the open water. Even the fish were struggling against the strong current to stay bye the ship. All our divers used the lines back to the surface and made it safely aboard. For safety reasons we decided to tie up at Anglers Reef, where there was no current, great visibility, and lots to see!

First up…
