Diver's Notes

Shallow reefs off West Palm.
Second afternoon dive. Stopped for a swim off the beach during the surface interval. Tried to stay with Shannon and Skylar on the dive but got separated about halfway through. Saw a large turtle hanging out on the bottom and Dan chased it for a bit. Snagged a few lionfish and saw a handful of good sized lobster.
