Why would you redive the C53 when you could search the reefs for coatless Peterson shrimp?So I take it that means 83-84 degrees ???????
This time there was a couple of crabs in the boat and a green moray under it. Took a propeller pic and another porthole pic. Whooptee doo. In the intervening years anytime I mentioned going back, no one on the boat was interested and Alison said it was boring. She was right. (PLEASE no one tell her I said this....) This trip it was the rest of the group that wanted to go. There was next to no current, so it was easy to fiddle around it and all. I spent a bit of time fooling around on the bit of reef Wilma shoved it against.
As for cold water, holy crap! Thursday we dove a little south of Cave proper and there was a LOT of cold water drafts. Like swim swim, warm warm, BAM COLD COLD COLD, then warm warm again. I never encounter the upwelling of cold fresh water except when it was in some fashion stormy or something. Little weird.
Oh and the missus almost took a five pound weight to the head. (Thanks Dive Palancar diver you jackwagon.....) Whoever dropped it can come see me to get it back.....
You remembered it?
Yes. The first time was exciting and traumatic. I was a terrible air hog, diving an oh-so-dependable, but little hard breathing Sherwood reg in decent current. Every time I gasped for breath I swear I could feel the tank rattle as I swam from one end to the other of the boat. We did the port hole pics thing and all that, which was nice. Swimming along the deck was a little more challenging then with the beams overhead. On a swim through the gaping holes, a certain Canadian had slipped away and was hovering off in a side passage. As I swam through, there he suddenly was. Scared the crap out of me to shine the light over and see him there.
