Diving at Hedo: East of Oku

Our final dive of the day with North of Nago & Cap'n Chuck was just to the east of Oku Port (where we stopped to grab the 3rd tanks for each of our group of 7 divers) & included some wonderful underwater scenery & life. There were huge cuts, crevasses, caves & channels thru the rocky formations & all kinds of life from the 80-90 foot sandy bottoms to the 15-20 foot tops of the reef. Unfortunately, being technically our 4th dive of the day, we were quite worn out (Josh with a head ache & Betsy with motion sickness) & the fast approaching night (we got in only shortly before sunset) limited our dive to just half of an hour (one of our shortest ever). Hence, the small amount of photos we snapped. We did see a young turtle just before the end of the dive, but the lighting was too poor for the camera to capture his image before he decided to leave our presence very quickly (a skill & decision that will hopefully serve to afford him a very long life). Thanks for facilitating some great diving, Chuck!
