WHALES CELEBRATE LEAP DAY !! 28 feb

well, the whales were a day early, but in reality the whale leaping has been big these last two weeks!  of course we call it breaching, but it could just as well have been leaping!  seems that the recently born calves are growing big and strong, as have begun breaching.  we call that a ‘baby breach.’  in any case, we have had a blast on our surface intervals lately!  our first stop was LANDING CRAFT UTILITY, or the LCU, with that U standing for upside-down, which is what happened when this wreck sunk!  worked our well, because the whiteptip sharks like to hangout underneath!  2nd jump was Fantasy Reef, always colorful, and packed with marine life- huge turtles, more sharks, octopus, lots of eels, and loads of reef fish!  on our way over to Spitting Cave for our drift, we saw tons of whale activity including breaches big and small!  spitting was excellent as usual, offering us beautiful topography, and loads of marine life, including more sharks, turtles, eels, and octopus. thanks to all for diving safe,  larry, matt n., cap. joe
