Diver's Notes

Great second dive of the day.Continued to use compass which didn't go well.Had to surface twice to get a boat visual.Encountered a sleeping White Tipped Reef Shark which was amazing.Swam off when it heard our bubbles but settled back down elsewhere which we also observed.Nice.Saw two good sized Green Turtles and watched one surface to take a breath which was cool.Also swam around a large variety of soft and hard Corals and the ubiquitous Sea Cucumbers.
