3 Tanker Bliss on LCU, Baby Barge and Fantasy Reef! 11/1/15
Everyone arrived early excited for the dives on this sunny Sunday morning. Full of anticipation about the dives today we even got to leave the dock a little early. The water was calm and there was no wind as we started the trip. LCU was the first dive site we went in on. Hoping for a shark or two today. Only a couple of the divers got to see the random shark on the dive but all the rest were excited to explore the wreck with 100+ viz and NO Current. What a great dive.
Two Sharks at the Shark Cave on Baby Barge!
Next dive was at Baby Barge….again hopeful for sharks and we figured the Shark Cave was our best bet. It is located about a 100 yards from the mooring at Baby Barge. We got to see what we were looking for. We had lots of divers with cameras today and they were not disappointed at our choice of dive sites. The Barge and all the reef around were full of activity and live. Lots of reef life, turtles, eels. No one wanted to come up.
Capt. Joe and Sophia had a great set out for us when we returned from the dive of sandwiches, chips, apples, brie and walnuts. It was amazing for the hungry divers. We then took a break and briefed for next dive. Our drift dive was at Fantasy Reef. Turtles waiting for us at the drop site and all through the reef. We also got another great shot of a good sized White Tip Reef shark at the swim thru. He put on quite a show for us swimming right towards us then back…then came back. Swam around while everyone made their way through. The current was very light so our photographers got plenty of time to take shots. This was a great day on the Sea Fox and with Island Divers! One of the highlights of the day is DMC Steven completed his class and is now the newest DM with PADI. We are all so proud of him!! GREAT JOB!
