Monday – On the boat we had Sam, Greg, Dan, Tim, and Jim. The first site up was the Corsair; it’s one of our deepest sites and I love diving it because when it’s possible to dive it it’s always really peaceful. Today was no exception with a very small current that tapered off towards the end of our dive and 100+ visibility. We saw some goat fish, a bunch of dascyllus hung out with us on the line, and there were tons of garden eels as always. From there it was perfect timing to go dive spitting caves and look for some sharks! Unfortunately we didn’t spy any sharks, but we saw a bunch of octopus, an eagle ray and a couple green sea turtles. Oh and some mature frogfish! Hideous! Thanks everyone for coming out, we’ll see you next time.

Pose that urchin!
