Monday we loaded up two tanks each and went to Witches Hut. A little on the ruff side as the wind has been really blowing. Got in and under the water fast instead of floating around on top like we do. The visibility was not to bad considering the wind on top we estimate about 80 feet. Very nice dive, ran into a small turtle very intent on eating off one of the rocks. There was some research going on so there was a lot of divers in the water with lines being strung out on the reef. For the second dive we went back to Andrea I. We love this site for the beauty, easy of diving and the topography under the water. We took a nap in the afternoon and then went for a night dive off Bari. We found the largest lobster we have ever seen. My husband found it first at about 55 feet on a ledge. When I turned around and my light first hit it I think I jumped back three feet. This thing was immense and his tentacles stuck out three feet in front of him. Just amazing. One of the Tarpon came by to check us out but then he left. After the dive we had dinner at the Reef and then my daughter wanted to do a night snorkel so at 9:00pm it was back in the water. A few feet from the dock we found a very large puffer fish. The puffer's head was the same size as ours. Again this was the largest puffer I have come across. I love the fact that you never know what you will see when you get in the water. Monday we loaded up two tanks each and went to Witches Hut.
