Met up with Brad from B&B Scuba at O Dark:30, loaded up the boat and headed out to the crater. Despite building swell and wind we dropped into the blue and excellent conditions. During the first two minutes of the dive a large pregnant white tip reef shark swam straight toward us, then lazily around us, no care and no worries. :-) We also saw four beautiful moray eels, another awesome gray reef shark and a cute little white tipped shark nursery under a ledge. All the while we were accompanies by the woeful song of humpback whales. I kept looking off into the blue to see them, even though I knew they were quite a ways away. A couple huge ahi swam by to check us out too. Blake completed his first open water dive and passed with flying colors. He even had a shark brush his mask as it moseyed past him as he peeked under a ledge. Brad dove with Blake for a full 45 minutes, practicing skills and showing him the reef. I would have to say he did a fantastic job and I would recommend B&B highly. Gotta head out to dinner now I'll write about the second dive later - it was awesome too!! |
