...went diving on 9/17. Beautiful day for diving at Falling Rock. Chad is the young pup, since I have kids his age
One of the old goats did a very nice job on his light salvage dive
Too bad you weren't there to see it Chris. It really was nicely done. The object he was salvaging ws in one of those areas with lots of John's(John is one of the Old Goats") favorite "black stuff" he is so fond of. It was down in a "hole" of sorts and would have been very easy for him to have silted out completely. He never messed up his viz at all even while rigging the object. Chad was in the role of supporting team member, handing rigging and lift equipment as needed and keeping a watchful eye on things ready to lend a hand if needed.
Navigation dive was a little less sucessful mainly the first leg. The second leg of his course was a near miss on the cabin cruiser. If there had been better than the standard viz I think he would have hit the second destination. Leg three came out on target as did leg four. Its a good thing he was on target for leg for as he found an "unconscious" diver at that point He handled that situation very nicely
Significant progress was made on finning techniques AND you should have seen John on the golf ball retrieval game---very well done!!!
The night dive will be done 9/30/06 and we will re-do the navigation dive on that Sunday morning. Then we will make arrangements for the deep dive at Laurel Lake.
