Barracudas, white tip sharks, eagle rays, sea cucumbers and more drift diving Fantasy reef and landing craft in Oahu.

Looking like giant caterpillar-worms the Spikey Sea Cucumber always gets some amazed looks by divers who have never seen one. At a foot of two in length they are reddish-brown in color, tubular in shape, and (my favorite part) covered in soft spikes! They don’t really do much spike-wise, well who knows how the soft spike evolved?  In any case they look impressive!!  Often the belly will have a small grouping of various tiny micro critters – crabs usually.  First dive at the Landing Craft not only had the aforementioned, we also got to see an eagle ray, a cruising whitetip shark which was chased and nipped by a great barracuda (according to instructor Jeremy!) as well as schools of reef fish.  2nd jump was a drift of Fantasy Reef and we got surrounded by giant turtles, spotted another shark, and joyfully cruised through the volcanic topography of this beautiful spot.  Richard and Dean were working their Advanced – great job.  Thanks to all for safe diving,  Larry, Kendal
