Ready to dive



Well, we are supposed to be within 2 hours of our first dive site, but there is still no land in site. It is a gorgeous day and the haze has lifted so you can see all the way to the horizon in every direction. It still amazes me to look out over the ocean and see nothing else – no boats, land, birds – just blue as far as the eye can see. It reminds me of a desert that’s hiding something fantastic underneath. I can’t wait to jump in and explore what’s below all that blue.

We have been making good time and will be arriving at French Frigate Shoals two hours ahead of schedule. We should be able to get two dives in today and then the work really begins! Weather permitting, we will be diving 3 times a day until our next transit or until we have been diving 9 days in a row.

I better be off now to finish a few last minute preparations, then its time for lunch, a safety briefing and then we dive!
