THE CROCODILE HUNTER !! 2 march

as usual we ask our divers if they have any particular dive sites they want to visit. and today it was the awesome Corsair airplane.  sitting at 107 feet, it is the dream dive for all of our scuba-diving pilots!  we get pilots from all over the world who come dive with us simply to see that wreck!  it is a real trip, from the shoaling fish, the intact instrument panel, the resident huge moray, the ubiquitous garden eels, and the ever elusive crocodile snake eel!  these eels hide a 4 to 5 foot long body in the sand.  i have seen them out swimming, only to suddenly reverse into the sand in a few seconds, leaving only their eyes and nose peeking out.  really astonishing to see!!  and their eyes and nose are jammed all the way to front of their croc-like head.  check out my photo, but maybe google it too, and see if you can find a photo of the whole head!  amazing to see!!  2nd jump was a drift of Sea Cave, and boy, everyone was stoked – great viz and mild current, plus 3 sharks inside, and turtles and octopus outside. lots of sunny smiles while heading back to dock.   thanks to all for safe diving,  larry
