EAGLE RAYS and MONK SEALS 16 may

the LCU wreck, an old WWII style landing craft unit, has been the home of many of our larger marine animals.  quite often we see whitetip sharks resting in the dark beneath the wreck, and I have seen some larger sharks  – tigers in particular, out in the blue surrounding the wreck.  maybe hoping to grab one of those whitetips!   i’ve also seen turtles, dolphins, and whales there.  lately we have been seeing the group of eagle rays that enjoys circumnavigating the wreck. today we got some good closeup views, and they are beautiful to see as they fly through the blue. 2nd dive was a drift over at spectacular Spitting Caves.  this wall dive is really world class, as the topography is dramatic, with steep wall, canyons, caves, and a window to the deep blue opposite.  we saw turtles, more eagle rays, a number of various moray eels, as well as large frogfish!  thanks to all for safe diving, larry, joe
