As you can tell from the pictures..............this has been a great couple of days for diving! What you don't see is that we had a veritable avalanche on Tiger Coweries! Between Kim and I we found four of the beauties and they were all alive. Leaving them for others to look at and hopefully to leave also, was really cool.
Yesterday the surge channels and canyons were great and today we saw all kinds of really cool things. Not the least of which was the White Mouthed Eel above. The turtle was on K-5 upright and was not very big but not afraid either. Speaking of K5, the second picture shows that the ship is in a state of collapse. The passage way you are looking at used to be a really nice place to swim through and look for shells. As you can see now, it would be very dangerous to do that. I suppose all the air bubbles over the years from us divers has accelerated the corrosion of the metal and is probably a main contributing factor for the collapse. I don't think the other ships out here a quite this bad because K5 upright is one of the closest wrecks and probably the one who most folks have dived on. It was also one of the ships which burned prior to going down so that may have also contributed to the speedier collapse. More on this as we go along.
