Monday + Divers = AWESOME!

one

Monday usually translates into WORK, END OF WEEKEND, and BLAH!… but for the adventurous crew of divers on the Fox it was an afternoon full of AWESOME! Rachel and Marta (OW3/4), certified Allison, Christopher, Franziska, Irena, and Patrick along with Instructors Manolo and I (Dave) started our day at a IDH staple… Koko Crater.

Canyon Turtle

And of course our friends the Turtles we out in force… Swimming and hanging out with our divers as they made their way around the site.

along with the Eels that are scattered around the crater hiding under the shelf.

Back on board and onto one of my favorite spots… Anglers Reef.

The Octopus in this region have been highly active as it is nearing their mating season and today did not disappoint.

Congratulations to Rachel and Marta on becoming Open Water Certified, and thank you to all our divers for a safe and fun day of diving… ALOHA!

LOOK OUT BELOW!! 28 FEB

especially when a big moray eel decides to zoom through your legs!  two morays were having a bit of a bite fest with each other, when one of them decided it was time to get the heck out and choose to do so between my neutrally buoy legs.  hmm, neutral sounds like neuter!  man, they are fast, and this guy was no exception.  whew, that was fun!! we were at koko craters, right near the anchor, a spot where there always seem to be a moray or two!  we also jumped in at Anglers and saw some octopus speed dating – one big octo chasing another big one around.  pretty fearless too, just sat there and looked at us!  lots of turtles today, as well as another octopus, schools of reef fish and great conditions!  thanks to all for safe diving.  larry, dave, and captain neal
