Today we encountered a very calm day, so we decided to start our dive day at the Benwood Wreck, which is close to 10 miles east of my house. The Benwood went down after running dark and colliding with another ship during WWII. It lies in 40-5- feet of water. Visibility is usually not very good and today was no exception. We could not see the ship until we descended well below the surface. The Benwood is also home to lots of fish and the sides of the ship are covered in colorful coral.
For our 2nd dive we headed to Molasses Buoy#18. The current there was extremely strong and it would be dangerous to dive here, so we moved to the NE edge of the reef where the current was not as strong. It is deeper on this end and not as much coral and fish. But we did see a Sting Ray and I got a good shot of a Green Moray Eel.
