Anchor in 90Ft, is another cloudy day, raining on and off, light SW wind, air temperature is 80F, flat seas on this side of the island, today we have current running to the north.
In first dive we had light current and second dive had strong current, first dive visibility was 100 plus feet, second dive visibility averaged 50Ft, ocean temperature is 82F above 70Ft but if you go any deeper then it drops down to 72F.
We went from one side of the island to the opposite side from one dive to the next one, so conditions were very different including the 4ft waves and 12 kts winds in the south side of the island when we went to do Alcyone.
The dives have been good, first one in Manuelita has loads of hammers most of which were getting clean, marble rays and an eagle ray showed up, the big school of horse eyed jacks was just outside our vision in Manuelita I could see the dark huge spot moving. Lots of white tip reef sharks. And tons of other fish.
Alcyone had more challenging conditions, just to get there was a challenge itself, the then the current, Alcyone is a plateau there is a line for you to tie the boat up and get guests in the water.
The tiger, the hammers, nor white tip sharks, none of it was as exciting as it was to see the humpback whale and calf near by in Chatham bay, Big mama kept pushing the calf up to the surface for air, Mate Manu has his drone here and he got some good footage of it.
