Dive Report 10 August




It was a parking lot trifecta! A weekday, an early-morning high tide, and rain showers combined to leave plenty of space for premium parking! Nice! There was a pretty good chop resulting from a gusty south wind. For instruction it was perfect for simulating offshore conditions. When on the surface, fully inflate your bcd, keep your mask on, your regulator in your mouth, and your back to the sea. A student only has to suck down a little sea water to understand the wisdom of those guidelines. Underwater conditions were very good. We had 15' to 20' of vis (quite a bit better than yesterday) and the water was 82 degrees. Our students, Carrie, and I did a one hour, forty-eight minute dive time. That is the longest dive I have done with students. In 3mm full suits we were all quite comfortable. The students were much more at ease today and really got to see some of the special critters the bridge has to offer. We had a very good time! Get in the water, Ham
