Drift diving spitting caves and wreck dives!
If you take 10 great divers, a great dive boat and a calm Pacific Ocean you have the makings of a blissful dive day! Today the tides dictated that we do a reverse to what we normally do. Our drift dive at Spitting caves, max depth of 50 feet, did not disappoint. This dive was action packed and full of sea life. Sharks, Eels, Frog fish, Snake eel ….and to many more to list. Everywhere we looked there was something new and exciting. This dive was so good, we all wanted to do it again!
Our next dive site was on the other side of Diamond Head. We were bound for the YO 257, max depth was 95 feet. On our way there we were met by calm seas and lots of chatter on the boat about all we saw. Making our way down to the YO, everyone was pleased that there was zero current, with the great conditions we got to make this a double wreck. Adding in the San Pedro, max depth of 85 feet. Again we got to see huge moray eels, turtles and yes even a Shark! YO is one of those great wrecks you get to do swim throughs on and awakes so interesting.
Making our way back to our side of Diamond head we all sat down on the boat to figure out what we wanted to do next. Our first drift dive was so awesome and we did get to see two wrecks on the 2nd dive……drum roll please…..you guessed it we got to do a second drift. This one on Fantasy Reef, max depth was 55 feet. Before we started the drift our Captain Kendal and Crew Member Kelsey set out a great lunch. We got to snack on sandwiches, fresh veggies and some chips. Starting our 3rd dive of the day was just as perfect as the previous two. With in the first few minutes we saw another shark, turtle and an Eagle Ray! What a great day so far. Making our way west on the reef we all got to see so much then we made our way through the arch and entered what one of the divers named Turtle alley. Everywhere you looked there was a huge Hawaiian green sea turtles, must have been at least twenty on the dive.
A big Mahalo to our great divers, Steven, James, BJ, Anthony, Brett, Joey, Jeff, Kaoru, Krishna, Sandy and Scott.
