Perfect day to Dive! Skimmen’s, Baby Barge and Sea Cave! 5/15

/in , /by

The winds were light, the sun was shining and there was no better place to be but on the 3 tanker dive today!  We headed to Skimmen’s first today and were lead there by a nice pod of dolphins.  Had such a lazy dive, puttering along and catching all the sights.  Making it through the swim thru’s, poking around on the reef in the deeper areas and the shallows.  The dolphins even made an appearance when we were loading up the boat just to wish us on our way.  It was pretty magical.

The mooring has been out at baby barge for awhile and thanks to Capt. Joe and Kelsey it got put back in so we went there on our second dive.  Loads of turtles, eels, found some sharks teeth in the sand.  Thinking all our photographers were quite pleased with all the turtle pictures they got to take this day.  Back on the boat Capt. Kendal and Britney made a great lunch spread.  All the divers were happy that they take such good care of us.

SEA CAVE!!  Yep we finally got a break in the weather and made it to Sea Cave today.  The cave was awesome as usual and the reverberation of the waves hitting on the walls above us was like an old friend giving a hug.  The drift was interesting with the current today but we got to see tons of stuff.  This is one of my favorite dive sites on the island and we are lucky we get to do it.  Arman and David saw so many people doing Nitrox on the boat they both decided to give our TRY Nitrox program a try.  Loving it so much they made the choice to do the whole certification today.  A huge Congratulations to Arman, David and Kurt on getting their PADI Enriched Air Certifications today, you guys were Awesome!

Hot towels and cut up fruit on the way home….all were pleased with another Island Divers Amazing 3 Tanker!!!
