You Ask….We Deliver!! Baby Barge, LCU and Frog Fish! 4/10 AM
The start of the day was a sunny, calm beautiful morning and a great day to dive. This morning we had a few requests that we made happen. Divers wanted Baby Barge, max depth 85 feet, viz 150+. It was amazing at baby barge we could see the site from the boat. It was crystal clear looking down! The dive was outstanding, lots of turtles, eels and reef fish. Some of us headed to the “shark cave” and took a look around there. Found some shark teeth and Sasha and Lena buried their keys from the vow they made on friend! Congratulations on your wedding!!! Now baby barge has a special meaning for them.
Our next stop was the requested LCU, max depth 90 feet, viz 80 ft. The upside down landing craft was such a good choice for our next dive. There was a good sized white tip reef shark under the wreck and she was quite active. Swimming all around and giving a pretty good show to the divers. We came out one of the doors on the south side of the wreck and swam into the Z blocks. Found a little octopus out there but he was having nothing to do with coming out. The last group coming up got to see the schooling eagle rays so everyone had a pretty awesome dive. Capt. Matt and Genna had a great lunch all set out for us at the end of this dive. Lots of laughing and comparing what each other saw at this time.
Our last dive was Spitting Caves, max depth 50 feet, viz 50 feet. Everyone was excited to go on the drift dive at Spitting Caves. One of the big requests came from Jane, she wanted to see frog fish. Always hard to guarantee that was see a particular thing underwater. So many turtles on this dive was super. We have been seeing the growth of a few young Hawaiian Green Sea “Honu” Turtles over the last few months and they were all their today. The fish were abundant as always and the dive groups having a great time. About 3/4 of the way through the dive we found the frog fish and yes, Jane was squealing like a school girl. There wasn’t just one…there was 2!! Lots of eels and reef fish also to spice up our dive. A huge congratulations to Lena, Daniel and Victoria for completing their PADI Advanced Open Water Certifications. You all were Excellent Students and made this instructor look good! Loved all the laughter and hugs on the boat today. You truly all left as friends today! On the way in Genna made all the divers hot towels to freshen up with always welcome and popular on the boat!!
