It sounds like a pretty good crowd there--I wish I could have joined y'all--how was the diving?
Sorry for the rambling post below....I'm tired.
Billyparker1 and BCleatus were diving wet, so they went before me, Korvette and Rakpix (mainly due to me running my head too long, hence taking too long to set my gear up and that bright sunshine warms up the neoprene quickly! LOL.
Billyparker1 mentioned in his post on conditions that his computer read low 50's. Mine never dropped below 59F at 30'. Above the thermocline at the training platform, we were reading 62-64 degrees.
Anyway, Bcleatus had to leave after dive 1 and Billyparker1 left as well (sorry Bill, I did not realize that you were leaving or I would have said adios and safe driving...I thought you were just warming up on a long surface interval).
So, Korvette, Rakpix and I did 2 more training dives (Rakpix was taking most of the video....man, do I have a lot of work to do).
The bad news? As Billyparker1 also mentioned, the vis was bad. I'm guessing the heavy rain this week took its toll. We could barely see across the training platform (8') at certain points, but it was mainly 5' of vis. When I was running the video camera I couldn't hover in the middle of the platform and follow Rakpix as he demonstrated kicks around the perimeter. I had to move to keep him in video.
Regardless, it was still a fun day of diving and that pretty much beats anything else.
Billyparker1, Bcleatus, Korvette, Rakpix.....gentlemen, I enjoyed it.
