Group of 5 dove Blue Grotto today. Me, Keith, and 3 guests.

Water was great, weather was great, skies were blue! There were at least 3 (I think 4) Scuba classes from out of state doing open water certification dives (one from Virginia another from South Carolina, I'm not sure about the others).
Our group arrived at 10 am, we got into the water by 10:45. My first dive was 71 min. max depth of 95' (only spent 5 min. deep, rest of the dive was 50-23 ft.)

During the SI we used the pits provided by BG to grill some brats. we met a nice guy from Atlanta diving solo and invited him to join us.

Second dive was 43 min. my buddy and I returned to the bottom (95') to retrieve my reel and then spent the rest of our time in the 40' zone.

The owners gave us a group discount since we were a group of 5 and paid cash! Look for this dive site to be scheduled again in the next few months!
