Fish Gardens is a wall dive, right between Spitting Cave and Sea Cave, two of our more well know and frequented dive sites.  while these two sites are spectacular due to the quantity of marine life and the volcanic topography, Fish Gardens is equally enthralling.  It has boulder clusters at 50 feet, ledges, caves, and dramatic walls, as well as thousands of colorful reef fish of all kinds -pennant fish, fusileers, butterfly fish, ulua, sergeant majors, probably almost every type of hawaiin reef fish in large numbers!  it was really beautiful yesterday, truly a fish garden in bloom!!  we had great viz and bright sunshine, we were repeatedly surrounded by these large shoals of reef fish!  such a great dive!  we also saw octopus and turtles as we drifted this site.  Our first dive of the morning was over at Baby Barge, where we tied up in moderate current, and dropped down on the shark cave, which had turtles and a giant shrimp (oxymoron?) inside.  more turtles around the wreck, plus some large morays – green heads, and yellow margins, as well as small schools of fish.  thanks to all for safe diving,  larry, joe
