7/18 Maui pics

[Gilligan]

Today's dive was on the wreck of the St. Anthony and primarily a turtle photo op.
All went well until the first charter boat (name withheld) arrived on the scene.
I was surrounded by numerous divers, some of whom were thrashing their arms and legs about in a manner that I can only equate with that of a monkey trying to have sex with a football.
As some of them hit the sandy bottom clouds of sand rose up like small nuclear detonations.
On that note I ended my dive...............
