Got to dive with Dave before he crosses over to the dark side into the abyss and is lost forever....We went on Captain Joey excursion to Baby Barge. I guess I could whine about the 60 ft viz, which is substandard, but some days you gotta take what you can get, which is a great dive buddy and a boat with good tunes and a low key attitude. Thanks to Joe for always humping to please....
Near the full moon phase, a mild current had me huffing a bit trying to make it to the shark ledges. We cut the corner and caught the southeast lip but no sharks at home today. Found some teenage turtles which were zipping around, seemingly on hormones. We poked inside the wreck for a shot I want but the light I brought had decided to die. I hate lights. The current felt powerful surging through the openings, so I am always a little careful with all the sharp edges inside.
Second dive we did Portlock and drifted westward towards Diamond Head. The other group (doctor/nurses from Queen's medical center?) were seperated early on so I blew my bag about halfway through the dive, as we had the captain's visiting nephew, John, and his mom was on the boat. (Moms love surface markers, especially ones that grew up local, with Joey) Thanks to all for braving the 60 ft viz with me!
