I met up with Bamamedic2.0 for a few dives at Bluewater today. Turned out to be a much more pleasant day than expected.

First dive we went off the platform to the sailboat and the school bus and just generally played in and around the schoolbus. Surfaceair temp was 59 degrees. The water temp at the platform was 74 degrees. Visibility was around 40 feet. The temp dropped to about 66 degrees at the bus at around 64 fsw or so. The thermocline was at around 42 feet. Max depth was 71 fsw and average depth was 51 fsw.

Second dive we went due north to the pipes and played in the pipes for a bit. Then followed the quarry wall around to the west. Maximum depth was 58 fsw and the average depth was 36 fsw . The surface air temp was up to 67 degrees. Temp at the platform was 74 degrees and the temp at the pipes was 68 degrees. Visibility was still around 35 to 40 feet.

BM was in her drysuit and was warm and toasty. I was in a 5mm wetsuit. The first dive wasn't bad but I got a little chilled on the second dive after around 40 minutes or so.

I took 23 minutes of video of Bamamedic diving on the first dive before the video card filled up but the file size is 1.77 gigs and I have no clue how to post it. If anybody can tell me a way to split it up or compress it or something I'll upload the footage.
 
I had a blast! And for once, managed to stay dry in my drysuit (no pesky little leaks) :)
 
You didn't see Tyrone? He must still be mad at you.
 
Thanks for the report. Hopefully the temps won't change to much in 15 days. :)

Wish you could be there the 15th. BM2, you WILL be there, right? ;)

I tried to split the video so here's my first attempt at posting it. It's Bamamedic diving the sailboat and school bus .

Youtube-ABWA Schoolbus Part 2

The jerkiness of the video at the start of part 2 is because I'm semi-stuck in the dang windshield opening of the bus. I'm pretty sure the burst of bubbles from Rita's reg was her laughing at me when she noticed I was wedged in.

LOL! Goin' down of course! :D

So what do you think, Michael? How's my trim? :D

Of course. :)

Trim looks good but, (not that I am one to judge nor do I play a professional diver on tv) I have a few things I'd like to talk to you about it. :)

Uh oh....what'd I do?
