Hi Eric,
I really appreciate all of the information you sent me. Auston says hello. I loved the diving, although I did not make it to the vents. The first day of diving was awesome. I requested that we dive the River Taw. There were only two other divers. Since my usual dive buddy did not make the trip with me, I dove with a beginner diver the first day, but did very well. One was being certified. That was fine with me since this was my first dive in St. Kitts. The water temp. was 79 degrees the first day, but 82 degrees the next couple of days. The ease of navigating the wreck was exactly how you described it. There were an abundance of these really pretty red and orange fish. I am not sure the name. There were quite a lot of fish around the River Taw. Too bad I didn't bring my camera housing this time. I saw one really big turtle, a couple of eels, and some type of fish that was not on my fish identification card. Auston was also baffled.The second dive that day was nicer than the first (becasue I saw Black Coral). The Black Coral Reef was started at about 42 ft. and went to about 70 ft. I've never seen black coral before, so that was a treat. Didn't see any seahorses though. I loved it. I had sooo much funny. The VIZ was really great. The next day of diving was a much deeper dive. They was a couple that lived in St. Kitts. They gave me the history of the Island. That was just awesome. I was the thrid wheel on that dive because the other diver wanted to stay shallow. We dove the Coconut Tree Reef. I made it to 96 ft. I was surprised that there were still quite a bit of fish that far down. A school of Barracudas passed soooo close to me that I could feel the vibration of how swiftly they passed by. The other reef we dove Auston said there really wasn't a name for it yet. I gave it the name of the circular donut reef becasue it was actually in a circle with an hole in the middle. The second dive that day was called the Blood Bay Reef. There were a lot of Sea Fans, these things that looked like worms (I think they are called Bristle Worms) and Snappers. The snappers were pretty big. We also saw two sharks. Not that big though, but beautilful. Again, thanks for emailing me all of the information while you were on your trip. Take care.
