Another great dive on the YO

[DiverDave65]

Did the YO-257 again today, this time with Dive Oahu. Same great conditions as three days ago, over 120' vis and only a very light current on the bottom. Divemaster David did a great job of leading without being over-bearing.

Lots of sea life on the wreck, the usual huge turtles, two small oceanic white tips sharks, and a small group of eagle rays.

Great boat and crew.....I highly recommend.

Could they have been whitetip reef sharks instead, dave?

Yeah, I don't know....not an expert....think our dive master called them oceanic white tips.....I don't know the difference.

I would definitely check out the difference when you get the chance. One you are very lucky to get to spot on any dive, the other you're lucky if you spot it before it spots you.

Longimanus is one of the coolest animals on the planet.

I always love seeing reef whitetips, but I'm absolutely amazed by oceanic whitetips in a, "I really, really, really hope I'm never too close to one kinda way."
