Comments the good: one of the dive sites was exciting with 2 Manta rays; 1 had at least 12 ft . wing span; lots of photos of those 2 manta rays;
also, a red nudibranch was found; one dive master (L.) was comical with jokes

the bad: I had leaking mask on first dive and leg cramps on 2nd dive.;
those problems were not due to the dive operator.

So, now I got pills for cramps; also, a cream for leg cramps.

Leg cramps can be due to dehydration and/or low calcium.
