Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Great week!
Water was 85 degrees at 85'
did my AOW - figured at least they let me do the dives from a boat, not the same quarry I've already done most of those AOW dives in anyway. And to those that ***** about how they rush you through training in the islands, you try doing your nav dive in a very shallow spot (aka: harder to control byoancy), that you're not familiar with, with not the greatest vis, and a pretty strong surge!
New rig kicked aaaaaaaaaaaaaass!, Martin like you said no weight (started with 4lbs., then 2lbs., could have lost that, but instead lost the belt and moved it to my top cam strap (mainly for trim) not that I really needed the weight) Sooooo easy to dump air without those damn 4mm gloves too! Oh yeah and the jets were great too, may just need to get smaller springs.
Did some great dives, including a night dive on the Antilla. I'll have to check the pics when I get them back, but just in case I paid a few bucks to have one of their guys take some digital shots on one of my dives (not much more than what I pay for film and developing on my stinkiy shots, plus he shot a few short videos too).
Dove with some cool people, including one guy from Philly, who's at Dutch all the time. Saw a few clowns too. One guy practically ran the New York Marathon across the bottom on his fins, then blew his air at least twice as fast as everyone else in the group, oh and lost his tank too! And I didn't even get a thank you for noticing and riging it back up for him!
