We had a wonderful bunch of brave sailors join us for the Cod Hole portion of our trip. Our hardy sailors included a lovely group from A1 Scuba, in Colorado, as well as many other guests from all over the planet. We began with two checkout dives at Norman Reef, Caves. After working out all the kinks, we hunkered down for the night steam up to the to of the Ribbon Reefs.

We began our dives on Tuesday at the wonderful Two Towers. It was a fantastic dive, and almost felt like swimming through a planned out underwater zoo. We first came across our turtle section; where two Green Turtles and one Hawksbill turtle were hanging out together. We then moved on to the shark section; where we found a big grey reefy and a substantially sized white tip as well. Later on we stumbled upon the sea snake section of the dive site, where we encountered two rather large and one rather small sea snake cruising around together. It was quite a special dive. We left Two Towers and moved up to the world famous Codhole for two dives. We enjoyed two pretty dives at Codhole simply exploring all that this wonderful site had to offer. After the Codhole we had an afternoon and night dive at Challenger Bay. The giant Trevallies and sharks on the night dive were particularly active. The Giant Trevallies gave a few of the guests a bit of a fright as they bumped into them while chasing a fish!

The following morning we started the day with a dive at Pixie Wall. At Pixie Wall our guests stumbled upon a beautiful Cuttlefish. For dive two and three we explored the pinnacles. We started with Pixie Pinnacle and moved on to Lighthouse Bommie. Both were extremely popular sites with many sea snakes and turtles to entertain the guests. We finished off with the grand finale of dives: the Snake Pit. Snake Pit was voted the favourite dive site of the trip. Which is not very surprising considering our fortunate guests spent most of the dive with not one but two Manta Rays! What a way to end the trip!

Thanks guys! Dayna
