Sea  Aquarium Tugboat

Sea Aquarium Tugboat

Good evening, I just got home from another fantastic deep dive down to the two sunken tugboats out in front of the Sea Aquarium!!  I went with two professional dive masters, Marco and Hans, both friends I work with so momma if your reading this I was in good hands!  These wrecks lay on a shelf at around 50 meters, or 164 feet, that’s deep folks!!  The water visibility today was much better than the last time and we could easily see both tugs clearly as we made our way down the deep coral slope.  Because of the depth our time was limited to just three minutes, that is not very long for yours truly to try and compose a photo?  My plan is each time I go down to start learning where I want to place my model divers on the next dive and try to find the best possible views.  When you see these tugs in person without lights they are a very dull greenish purple color but when you throw some flash on them the colors of the sponges and encrusting corals really stand out as you see here.  I have to honestly say this is the best three minutes I have spent in Curacao!  Marco spotted a turtle on our way up at around 60 feet and the boys also saw a giant green moray eel inside the boat but I was too busy trying to get a shot of the boats to see all the other cool stuff!  Fun dive!
 
We are still in need of a home for Brave Heart guys, this is one of the best puppies ever so please help us find her a home, she is the greatest!!
