Three Beautiful Dives! 6/25
Sunny skies and calm waters greeted our fantastic dive group today. Descending down on the LCU we had 100+ of visibility. We saw the eagle rays lazily circling the wreck. The LCU lays upside down on the ocean floor and sits on it’s wheel house. This makes it pretty interesting for us to explore the underneath area of the wreck. Exiting the door on the side of the boat we went and looked around the Z blocks that surround a good portion of the wreck. Coming back we then made our way towards the back and up over the top. Such a nice relaxing dive and so much to see.
The YO 257, pictured above was our next stop. It has been one of our top wrecks to dive on for such a long time much changed when it used to be top side. This is an old Oiler and is in fantastic condition on the bottom of the sea. We had a little current but crystal clear water again. Schools of reef fish surrounded us as we dropped down the line. We also made our way to the San Padro which sits 70 feet away. On the far side of the San Padro we got to encounter 2 rather large white tip reef sharks asleep. Also should mention we had encounters with eels and turtles. Another great dive in the books!
Our Drift dive today was at Fantasy reef. Again we were lucky enough to have great visibility which was perfect so we could see the many many turtles that swam around us for a good part of the dive. We had a very special visit from a baby green sea turtle. He was about the size of a football and all the divers were super excited. Two more sharks on this beautiful reef for us to see and so very many eels. All and all this was a perfect Sunday to dive! A Big CONGRATULATIONS TO Jared on this PADI Advance Open Water Certification! Great Job.
