Three Terrific Tanks

The sunday three tanker today was one a spectacular one! We had amazing conditions with very little wind and small swell making for an incredibly calm and beautiful day out on the water. It was warm and sunny on top and clear blue underneath! For our first dive we had a nice strong current so we decided to drift the barges which is always an awesome experience. We started at the LCU, drifted over to the new barge, and then ended over top of baby barge! Three wrecks in one dive! It felt like we were flying as we glided along the bottom with the current in between the wrecks. Over by the new barge I saw the biggest moray eel I have probably ever seen. There was an octopus sighting by baby barge, and of course the turtles came up to say hello as we were doing our safety stop over top of baby barge. As we were getting back on the boat we were greeted by a pod of spinner dolphins cruising by!

Just in case three wrecks in one dive wasn’t enough for our wreck fanatics we headed over to the YO-257 for our second dive and hit another two wrecks. The San Pedro sits just right across the sand from the YO so you can check them both out in the same dive. There was a pair of turtles sitting on the YO right at the bottom of the mooring line just hanging out. Lots of nudibranches to check out that call the wreck their home. And it is always cool to see the Atlantis submarine driving around.

For our last dive we headed back over to Sea Cave. Always an awesome experience being inside the sea cave. Finding cool little crabs, watching the fish sway in the surge. While drifting along the wall a spotted eagle ray cruised by as well as a couple turtles. Five different wrecks, three awesome dives, 2 new certified nitrox divers (congrats Michelle and Eddie), 2 new advanced open water divers (yay Likai and Ning), 1 new wreck diver (woohoo Lisa), and 15 awesome dive buddies. A wonderful day out on the seafox!
