Weather was scattered clouds, average 75F degrees. Steady breeze.
Water temp was 64 at 60’. Water looked “flat”, but with large swells (~6’) that created that slow, up and down elevator effect that really gets to me. Scopolomine was not effective enough.

Visibility was the worst anyone familiar with the Ferry Wreck had seen, about 5’ to 7’.

We were doing TDI's Advanced Wreck certification dives with ProTech Scuba out of Sierra Vista, AZ. We ran lines, did lost guideline, lost buddy, and lost light drills. We also did mask-off swims following the guideline, and no-mask air-shares.

The interior silted up in a heartbeat, so most of our training was in realistic, can’t see %^&, conditions.
 
Sounds like real, practical training. A couple more of those and you'll be so calm in a real emergency it won't be funny.
