Diver's Notes

A great dive overall.
Current wasn't too strong & we saw a lot of sea life.
The highlight was the Leopard Shark who followed us for a fair amount of the dive - a couple of times he came within arms length of everyone in the group.
One of the Tylers found and carried up an expensive looking anchor that he was planning on selllng - was hellishly heavy though.
