Diving and a Booby!! 8/10 AM dives
Diving on Saturday morning is the perfect start to a weekend. We had light trade winds and our seas were calm. Greeted at New Barge with 150+ feet of visibility. Ed was doing his PADI Wreck Spec on this dive so he was laying line inside the wreck on this dive. The rest of us made our way around the “Z” Block pile outside the wreck, so many fish!! Devin was doing his PADI Enriched Air Spec so we got to spend some extra time on the wreck. We made our way to the wreck as a group and explored inside and out. When we came back up there was a very curious Booby watching all of us. Guess he liked our group there today!

Our quest on the second dive was to see turtles!! Check…..Fantasy Reef is like Turtle Land! We also got to see Octopus, Sharks, Scorpion Fish, and a million reef fish. Oh wait did I mention the 20 Turtles. Talk about excited divers when we came back up. The water was clear and warm and the reef life was abundant. We really lucked out on having such a nice drift dive. Everyone got to talk lots of pictures… Best way to start a weekend.
