  • Seaview reef [61 minutes, max. depth 56’]: We
    headed South from Seaview towards Sunset House and rode the slight current
    back, ending right at the ladder at Seaview. Highlights: Spotted Scorpionfish,
    Pygmy Filefish , Peacock Flounder.



  • Hepp’s Pipeline [52 minutes, max. depth 65’]: Looking back at the
    18 dives we did that week, this one was one of our favorites. Right away we
    saw a 5 foot green Moray tucking himself into an overhang. We crossed over a
    sandy plain, down over a mini-wall to a huge coral "mound". The
    coral here seemed very healthy compared to other areas we saw. The site is not
    dived very often because conditions are rarely favorable for the dive. In
    other words, we were very lucky! During the dive we saw the first and second
    Turtles of the trip. I snuck up on the second one while he was sharing a snack
    with a grey angelfish…very cool!




  • Stringray City [44 minutes, max. depth 13’]: Often called the
    greatest 10 foot dive in the world. That I think goes to Moses Reef, Eilat,
    Israel. Still good though! Dived with Don Foster’s since TI didn’t have
    enough divers to go out. The one tank trip was not included in our dives for
    the week, so it cost us $55 US each. We rode a van out to the North side,
    and then boarded Foster's very large catamaran style boat that wasn't
    specifically outfitted for diving (no tank holders). A short boat ride to
    the shallow, sandy site and soon we were surrounded by many friendly
    stingray. Everyone should do it at least once, I guess. Don Foster's staff
    was very friendly, but the time we spent with them was really too short to
    form any kind of opinion. It's certainly a much larger operation than
    Treasure Island.



Water Temperature on all dives was 83 degrees F. On all dives the coral
was fairly healthy with a wide variety of fish life inhabiting it.
