Blackbeards Recap 3

The next day we dove Cut 'N' Run, Cobia Cage, and Kraken's Lair both during the day and at night.

The Cut N Run site was an anchorage by the where ships would cut their anchor lines and run when they spotted a pirate ship approaching.

So there's a large old anchor chain encrusted in coral that goes for a long way at the site.

There's also a neat plane wreck there as well.

While that plane will never fly again, there was a cool turtle flying through the water:

 

A fun dive to a max depth 72 feet for 38 minutes.

 Cobia Cage is a very cool site, with a huge cage designed to farm cobia.  It didn't work as sharks, that love to eat cobia figured out how to get in the cage and its now an encrusted spherical empty cage that is just cool to see. And yes there was a shark circling around that was pretty neat.

And, sadly you can't see it the cage or that shark, as I had a camera housing malfunction.  I then had it fixed for the next dive and all was well, but no images from this dive to a max depth of 102 feet (average of 56 feet) for 36 minutes.

Kraken's Lair didn't have any krakens.

It did have some cool tight coral swim-throughs:

 

And some large barracuda

At night some other creatures would come out.

That lobster was huge.  But, not lobster season, you can't take lobster on scuba in the Bahamas anyways, and lobster that large are apparently not very tasty. So, he got to continue going about his underwater nighttime business unhampered.

It was a cool dive.  Indeed, the night-time dive was rather chilly getting out in a cold wind.

Still a great diving day.
