Met Jeremy (JKsteger) at Mask cove at about 9:00am this morning. Wind was blowing, air temp was about 33*, but the sun was out and the water looked great. We planned on doing one tank, hit the 80' platform, then finish off our tanks at about 40'.
Entered the water at about 10:00am-ish (my dive computer went on the fritz so i'm not exactly sure) and took a bearing out to the training platform where we tied off the flag. Water was a balmy 53*, viz varying, 10ft in some places, then it would clear to 15-20 in others. I have no idea what was wrong with my computer, but for some reason it would not come out of surface mode, and wasn't giving me any info. Didn't matter what button i hit, it did nothing. Man I love diving blind :shakehead . Descended down to the platform, at 78ft. Here the water was (according to Jeremy's computer) 41*, and the viz only about 5ft, plus it was kind of dark down there too. Again, 78 ft on his computer since mine wasn't telling me jack. Came back up a bit to 40' or so and sent some bottles and cans shooting towards the surface, played with buoyancy... you know, the usual. Surfaced after 48 minutes of bottom time. After exiting the water my computer then went into dive mode and displayed all the info. :shakehead Thanks, could have used that 48 minutes ago. But anywhoo, good dive, i didn't turn into a popsicle until after I got out of the water. Can't wait for the warm weather to come back.
