I was diving yesterday at the boneyard and almost bumped into a huge sea turtle. I'm honestly not sure what kind it was but this thing was massive. The vis was only 2-3 feet and I had my face close to the bottom looking for teeth when I came within about 3 feet of him. He (or she I didn't lift the tail) must have been sleeping or something because all of the sudden this sand blew into my face from one of the turtles fins as it was lifting itself off the bottom. I thought maybe I had come up on another diver in the low vis so it was quite a shock when I picked my head up and saw this this thing. I guarantee he surprised me much more than I surprised him. Later I ran into a plastic deck chair someone dropped off their boat. That wasn't quite as exciting.
