Comments	Really had a great couple of days of diving. The dives start off seeming like they will be average and then something would happen to make them great dives. A curious reef shark that followed throughout the dive and got really close for great pictures. Huge lobsters - they always say you will see big lobsters but, these were sea monsters. Largest had to weigh in around 50 lbs. Turtle that let us get very close. Spotted rays that came out of their hiding place to wrap around a camera rig. Just very unique encounters. Vis wasn't the greatest but, still very fun dives. The dive shop was great, very accommodating. Especially when a dive computer went down and they were on the spot with a replacement.
