The sun was out, the winds were light and the ocean was calm.  What a winning combination for a great day of diving.  We had such a good time exploring Baby Barge.  We all went to the shark cave…no luck but lots to see.  Turtles, Nudi’s, eels and always the reef fish, even a nice Octopus at end of dive but only a lucky few got to see it.

Fantasy reef was just dreamy today.  Light Current, 100 foot viz, and lots of stuff to see.  We just had a great time drifting and making our way through the swim thrus.  Found the shark hiding in his cave surrounded by squirrel fish.  Sleeping turtles and so much more to see.  What a beautiful start to the weekend.

Two Wrecks of Fun

/in /by

For our dives today we decided to hit two different wrecks on the morning. The first wreck was the Corsair at 107ft and the second was Kahala Barge at 95ft.

The Corsair is a WWII Navy fighter plane that ran out of gas during a training mission and is the only natural wreck in the area.LRG_DSC02090LRG_DSC02087

Our second site is the Kahala Barge, the largest wreck of the area and one that provides our divers a great opportunity to enter swim throughs inside the wreck.LRG_DSC02109LRG_DSC02115LRG_DSC02112

Thank you to all the costumers and divers who came out with us today.LRG_DSC02136
