A-TEAM Divers!

Today was a fun day for diving with a mixed bag of Divers! Discover Scuba Divers, Student and returned Certified costumers! After a morning of teaching we began to load the Sea Fox for a PM Charter with 2 shallow reef dives. Our first destination was Koko Crater, a local favorite and great place for anyone to make their first Open Water SPLASH! Once our PADI Instructors entered the water the crew began to help each diver safely enter one at a time. For some the giant stride seems a bit scary, others didn’t hesitate for a moment!

After we grouped up in our small 4 person  tours we grabbed on to the line and made a slow and controlled descent. Once we reach our sandy bottom at 35 feet our new divers slowly got acclimated to the feeling of space! Once the jitters where out of the way we slowly started our adventure swimming through blue jelly!  We first say hi to our friendly stone statue Buddhas and soon after meet by our local turtle friends! With a nice easy dive with great visibility we  found our way back to the mooring line and slowing made our assent back to the surface.

At the surface our costumers all talked about the different fish they saw for the first time. Bird Wrasse and Lizard fish seem to be everyone favorite that day.

Our next dive adventure was another great swim through a local hot spot called Turtle Canyons. We began our descent back in our close knit dive groups to a max depth of 38 feet. Below we came across a few different types of Nudibranchs and eels! Looking for turtles and ray we swam easily through a light current. Visibility today was great and the water was refreshing!

Great job diving as a team today guys!
