This is probably going to be a little choppy, but I'm tired.
Saturday dawned cool but little breeze. All of my students got there early (that was a first) and we were able to get rolling within a decent amount of time. The first dive was right at 20 min with me leading a tour from the Adventure Scuba platform to cisco, back to the platform, to the neighboring platform, back to ours, then to our dock. Never missed an objective. Constant temp from top to 23 feet of 61*F. Vis ranging 15-20 feet.
Dive two after lunch stretched things out to 25 min in the same conditions. I actually noticed a slight thermal trying to develop. Air temp in the low 70's bright sunny day. Great day for diving (even if it was cold).
Dive three was 30 min. I brutalized my ears doing the CESA 8 times. Getting out my calves were cold enough they stiffened up on me pretty good.
Kory, Rhonda, Tom (illinifan), and Thomas(Firefyter) all did some diving together.
Kory and Rhonda camped out with me and fed me a nice dinner of burgers. I also got my own personal container of brownies.
Sunday dawned cloudy with a 15-25mph cold south wind. The air temp was warmer than Sat, but the wind chill made it tough. I has two students who really wanted to do a fun dive after dive 4 but the wind chill took that out.
Dive 4 on sunday the vis had dropped to about 10 feet or so, but the water temp was showing 64*F at 23 feet. The thermal was still trying to develop. The temp did get signifcantly colder at 30 feet. We ended up with a 32 min dive and 5 newly certified divers. 4 of whom were Boy Scouts headed to Sea Base in June.
Kory and Rhonda made a dive on their own on Sunday. Kory and I talked Rhonda out of another dive on Sunday partly due to it being still a little chilly from the wind, and I was finally getting warm and a little hungry.
