This week.

Where was this one taken?

That is the bow area of the silver comet. We started from the student side and hit it first then off to the chopper. It was a very nice dive. My friend Steve is trained to deal with problems that come up inside a wreck. I do not have that training so I was glad to be on the outside. Even at Dutch you should know you skill level!

I forgot about that hole. I always remember the huge square hole that's cut there, rather than the the smaller round hole. Never dropped in there.

No hood with water temps at Dutch? Crazy.

Especially for a guy who is "trained to handle problems inside wrecks" which I'm guessing means he's got some level of wreck penetration training. To me a hood is part of required gear for wreck penetration...

Sharp rusty metal + no hood =

Right now the water at Dutch is at it's warmest of the year. I even switched to a very thin hood myself. The reason I wrote about penetration was I did not want to have someone get into trouble trying to reproduce my photo. Now that they know where the shot was taken. Do I follow my own advise, not always. Just looking out for some fellow divers.

Ouch, next time I dive with him I will let him know about your impact with sharp objects.

Sorry, left the camera in the car this week. Wanted to just make a few dives with out it. Maybe next week????

Cool...everytime I get to the Comet that Palomino Trout is hanging around in it and not looking to hospitable!

Visibility getting any better?
