SCUBA diving on the wreck of the Chikuzen

I just about wrote that we were up early and on our way out to the Chikuzen to dive. That would be a lie! We were not up early, we were up at the normal time, threw up the spinnaker and made our way out to the Chikuzen. I was anticipating a great dive, as I could see the wreck from the surface.. There were some funky currents though and both Simeon and I zigged and zagged a bit looking for it!
Good visibility though!

One of those dives were everyone was pointing at something special, and mostly that is what i have pictures of...people pointing! Here Brian is pointing at two eagle rays that were circling at the surface...

And here they are....

Wandering down the wreck....



Hunter pointing at "something"

Alicia and Sammi pointing at "something"

and finally I found it! It was a goliath Grouper, the smaller of the two! He is more skittish then the larger one is and quickly ducked away. Still amazing to see!

The barracuda were hanging straight up and down on the lee side of the wreck to be cleaned I imagine....

And we also saw the Cobia...

A good dive on the wreck even though we always seemed to be kicking into the current no matter which way we went...Sammi put it best, wherever the Eddy was, well, we were not in it!

Watching our resort diver on the top of the wreck...We have now ruined him for any normal diving!

It was a sail into Muskmelon Bay on Guana Island for a bit of a lazy afternoon then, some hung out, some snorkeled, Sammi caught an octopus on his fishing line and Brent took too long bringing the net over I understand!
Sunset came around as it always does...

The boys went looking for some live bait for fishing...

Seafood Scampi was served for dinner...



We had a trivia game at cocktail hour so the pirate tattoo's came out....

And they finally landed a decent sized fish tonight, a Tarpon...



Had a bit more of a breeze this afternoon, which was very welcome after the hot sticky days we have had. You know what happens right after blogging though, I go to bed! Good night!
