The Call of the Wild! Jan 22

one

A great day to be out on the water… calm seas, good visibility, a small current, and great divers all added up to a fantastic day of diving.

Tracey, Toshiro, and James joined me on an advanced dive which began at LCU… one of my favorite sites. The Whales were out in force today, breaching, tail slapping, and the sound of their calls were amazing and sooo close! They were definitely having fun! Down the lines we go!…

First up…Two White Tip Sharks circling under the wreck… sadly they both had fishing hooks jutting out of their mouths. Wished I could just go up and pull them out… but I know better! Hopefully they find a way to spit them out.

Outside the perimeter of the ship a flight of three Spotted Eagle Rays flew gracefully bye…

and finishing our dive it was back up the line to return to the Fox…

After a short surface interval it was on to Fantasy Reef… always an awesome place to see turtles, Octopus, and Eels: it did not disappoint!

An Octopus crept between the coral and kept his eyes out for any intruders to his home…

and turtles of all sizes slept and swam along the reef…

an Eel slithered slowly bye searching for a place to make a home for the day…
