WOW! What a perfect day. It’s always amazing when the water is calm, light trade winds and unreal visibility. We could see LCU from the surface! This was our first dive site today and it was breathtaking. The eagle rays swam around the wreck the whole dive. We found a huge sponge crab in the wreck. It was fun to explore under the boat, around the boat, get some great shots of the sea life. We had several photographers on the boat today. Chad was doing the dives for his PADI Enriched air course, several others just enjoyed the benefits of already being certified. Even the safety stop was great with eagle rays circling below.

Sponge Crab, look close at the white part.
Back to one of my favorite sites for the drift. Fantasy Reef! Visibility again was perfect and the current was just enough to keep us moving but not so bad we didn’t have time to explore. First thing we saw was one of the small white tip reef sharks taking a snooze in a cave. So many turtles all around, was pretty exciting for our divers, they are always a crowd pleaser and even a visit from one of the baby turtles we have here. The eels were pretty active on this dive and we even saw a curious octopus poke his head out and watch us. We were surrounded by schools of reef fish most of the time. Coming through one of the swim throughs even got to see a school of pacific barracuda’s, there were about 15 of them. When we came up and all were loaded back on the boat a pod of dolphins came right by the boat just to give us a send off. Also had the amazing Hot Towels to freshen up with after the dive thanks to Gracie. Congratulations Chad on your PADI Enriched Air Certification! What a perfect day!!
