Island Day 4.0

0

Today started at the marina where we had breakfast and prepared to leave for the wreck and our two tank dive. Twenty minutes later we arrived at pile of black rocks and were briefed for our dive. We were to descend to the stern, circle around and come back up through the propeller. After descent our group swum to the stern. The current was strong and even, at times, completely stopped us in our tracks. We took a quick break from the current under part of the ship then continued to the propeller. We swam through a tunnel and looked back only to see a giant propeller that we had supposedly gone through. The ship was also filled with hundreds of fish including a giant angel fish and a cubara snapper. Once back on the boat we left for calmer waters to be debriefed and briefed for the next dive. The second dive was on the chromis reef. This reef was unlike the last one because it was in patches. We didn’t see much besides a giant tarpon and secreting sponges. After this we went to lunch at Cooper island before snorkeling at the bay. The bay was very interesting. We saw several things including sting rays, octopus and a shark. Mr. Kirby even spotted a lion fish which Casey shot with a spear gun. We ate at Maddogs again once we were back. Dinner was great and we had a flag fight with our cameras after. I think that’s where the pictures are from.
