2 Dive, 2 New Dive Masters!! AM 6/28

The upside down LCU sits in around 85-90 feet of water.  When it was sunk it flipped over, laying on it’s wheel house on the sandy bottom of the sea.  This affords us a very interesting daytime prospective of seeing the nocturnal fish that dwell there.  We were met by a mild current but amazingly clear water.  The eagle rays were circling as we decended to our site.  As the group was down there was a huge green sea turtle doing a dive on the wreck also.  He became more interested in the divers for awhile then made his way off the wreck.  We also got to see a huge (300-400) schooling barracudas.  That was quite a sight.

LCU with Divers

Spitting caves is one of our favorite dive sights and the conditions were perfect to see the sights.  So many things to mention on this dive, eagle ray, sharks, so many turtles, eels, octopus, scorpion devil fish, The group was happy to move along slowly and explore all the small caves and wall on the way.  We don’t often see the eagle rays there but a very mature adult one swam right by us today.  All of our photographers had more subjects than they could ever hope for.  This was also a fantastic setting for Audrey and Ben, they completed their PADI Dive Master Course!!  Both put so much hard work into their training and we are all very proud of them!
