Had the pleasure of diving with Mike G yesterday

[rmitchell248]

I was also able to meet a bunch of you guys for the first time. It was great Ben, Michelle, Paula Mike M. I saw a few more of you but did not get to say hi!


Mike and I had some great dives. Vis was about 10' above 30' depth, once we got below 35' the vis opened to 15+ with no surge along the wall. Second dive a new buddy found us and we got in another 32 minute dive out towards the pipe. Water temps were a bit on the warmer side 56*+

here is a shot I got of Mike getting ready

and one I snapped of him once we dropped in on the wall at BW.

Thanks Mike, it was great getting to dive with you finally! Looking forward to next weekend!

Hilarious!

You made my morning, especially since I had to cancel both dive days this weekend.

Haha, nice.

I think I passed that guy underwater a couple weeks ago, didn't know it was you though, Mike.
Sorry I didn't get to meet you Robert, I was there too. Seems like the only time I get to meet other SB people is when we plan on being buddies, so I get to meet them one at a time. Which is fine too, I have a greater chance of remembering their names.

Mike G.

Are you done adding new gear yet, Though I do see some stuff you could still add..... Just saying....

Lol,

Robert that pic is hilariious and I know a lot more here on Scuba board are going to get a laugh...

What won't Mike Guerrero try? Well after Don's training in Essentials, I'm up for the DECO bottles, YEAH RIGHT!

We had an awesome time and getting back into the water after my Essentials class, was the best thing that could happen.

Dive #1 we swam following the wall until we hit about 50 feet in depth, water became still with very little current or surge. And viz opend up to 15+ feet, worked on trim and bouyancy best I could and then we ran our deco stops on a gradual return to shallower water.

Dive #2 we invited James a new diver to join us and although his drysuit gave him a challange in bouyancy, Robert and I were able to assist hime and I got to pull out my wetnotes to decipher some problems underwater, it was great I hovered effortlessly as I got the notes and we solved some problems. I also got to dive my 19 cf pony bottle, it's amazing how neutral it becomes once it's in the water, I forget it was there. Thanks Robert and James...

Now take a look at these giant divers, I felt so safe diving underwater with them knowing that if the Landlord showed up he would prefer a full course meal rather than a Mike G snack, (didn't help any that MikeMills told me he saw a shark on his first dive)!

Robert,
Great to meet you and hang out. The impromptu meet and great was great... maybe next time we'll actually have a plan Hot chocolate and the cool night air with a bunch of divers would be cool.

I agree some warm beverage certainly would have capped it off. let me know when, you bring the hot chocolate and Ill cover the cool air.... I wish I could have stayed and done the night dive with you guys.. next time.
