We departed on time at 8:30 on a bright sunny day. Where we took a half hour to get to our first dive site The Baby Barge. We were lucked out and had minimal current and light trade winds and good visibility. We got down to the wreck and saw at lease three turtles, with the current being so slight we got to go off shore to the cement pilings where there was a white tip reef shark and several moray eels. We did a thirty minute dive once we got back on the boat we did a thirty minute surface interval and got to do some whale watching. Our second site was Spitting Caves where we did a 40 minute dive, and had a baby turtle and a baby frog fish with some more moray eels. Eels on eels on eels they were everywhere. After our dive we got back to the dock at 11:30 on schedule like always when you dive with Max!
