Kona and boat trip pics

Went diving with "Big Island Diving" in Kona, and I highly recommend them.  We saw turtles, sharks, dolphins, eels and many kinds of fish.  It is like swimming in an aquarium here!  Great dives today.  Two more for tomorrow and a night dive the next day with the Manta-rays! Definetly going to have to get an underwater camera!
