Beth and I had a wonderful Christmas dive at Christmas Tree Cove this morning at about 11AM. The vis was 20-30ft in the cove and dropped to around 15-20 ft at 40 fsw. We checked out the right hand side of the reef. I sneaked up on a 4-5 ft long leapord shark resting on the bottom. It swam away while I was frantically trying to get Beth's attention. This is the first time I've seen one on SCUBA. We saw a
large school of several hundred pacific barracuda and another school of senorita's. We found several grandpaw lobsters - I estimate one of them to be about 8 lbs. It was a great dive and a great way to celebrate Christmas.
Several of us will be at Vet's at 7PM tomorrow (Thurs) night if anyone wants to join us.
Anyone want to dive tomorrow morning around 9-10AM? If so, drop me an e-mail.
Cheers,
Ross-O
