Sun Dancer II Captains Report Jan 5-12, 2013
Air Temp: 82-83º F,
Water Temp: 81º F
3mm Wetsuit
A week of wonderful diving and amazing sightings! The week started off with an excited group of divers joining us from all over the US and Switzerland. On Saturday the adventure began onboard when the guests set up their dive gear and found their lovely staterooms ready for them to settle in. Upstairs in the salon the refreshments were waiting and the divers grouped up for an introduction and safety briefing. During dinner the crew prepared the yacht for departure and shortly after we left for Lighthouse Reef.
The next morning the guests woke up to beautiful blue water and started the dive week at Long Caye enjoying warm water and friendly sea creatures. The spotted eagle rays, stingrays, eels, octopus during the day and night were discovered. Also a manta ray was seen as well as a hammerhead shark! The turtles made an appearance and even some reef sharks came by sometimes only a few feet away from the divers. All of the time spent underwater was enjoyable and interesting with new discoveries around every turn.
During the week we had a chance to visit the Blue Hole and ventured down to 130 feet to get a view of the geological masterpiece that has been a bucket list destination for some divers their whole lives. After the memorable dive the adventure continued on Half Moon Caye where the birds and land dwelling creatures put on a good show and made for good photo opportunities.
Everyone had a great time and two divers finished the week having completed all 26 dives offered. The delicious food on board made for spectacular surface intervals and even our favorite non-diver enjoyed herself during the day relaxing on the yacht.
From all of the crew of the Sun Dancer II we would like to thank you for joining us on this wonderful week at sea. Our time together was memorable and we consider you all friends that we hope to dive with again in the future.
