Comments	Cattle boat with a purpose. The ride over from Lahaina made a number of the divers a bit green - lost of swell. You will be thankful that the boat is as fast and big as it is. A smaller or slower boat would be horrible. Entry and exit was, and it seems always is, a significant challenge. Everyone in quickly and then down. Exit is grab a tow line and pull in to a staging area where the crew times the swells to get you in. It was a challenge. Lucky that Fish Rain was well worth it. 47 Hammerhead sharks. Yes, you read that right, 47 sharks between the two dives. They did not come in close like reef sharks, but they came in close enough to know that you are swimming with them; close enough to get good photos and video. You drop down on a very nice, healthy reef with lots of reef fish. I hate cattle boats, but I totally understand why they run this like a machine - there is no way to allow people to come up when they want.
