Well after our stop at the USS Massachusetts for a dive we headed out to a spot we hoped would produce some nice fish for dinner. We would not be disappointed. After about 5 minutes I had already shot once and missed and within another 10 minutes had shot and strung a nice trigger and snapper. By this time though the pressure from the other divers and Hetland's eagle eye had got the fish spooked a bit and it became more difficult to get any decent shots, but I did manage to take a few longer shots and missed a few more nice straight down shots before heading back to the boat. Bottom time 44 minutes. Kill count on dive #1: Hetland: 2 Nice Red Snapper and a trigger and MRXRAY (Me): 1 Nice Red Snapper and 1 Trigger.
After a short surface interval we decided to splash on the same spot for dive #3 of the day. The second dive here proved to be a bit disappointing as Brandon lost his shaft after just a short time and I watched him fool around trying to get it loose for a bit and then After we flip flopped guns for a couple minutes of shooting he thumbed the dive. So we returned to the boat after less than 25 minutes under on dive #2. We were all back on the boat with no fish on the second dive although Hetland only dove with 1000 PSI on dive #2! We were counting on him limiting us out and he let us down!
