He did great... but was there any doubt since he did have the best instructors...

We are headed to Ginnie springs 9/11 if you and AE are interested.

Three dives earlier today.
Dive 1: 113' 59F 20' viz... Nice dive in the trees. Getting cool for a 3mm
Dive 2: 55' 79F 12' viz... Practiced swimming gear from bottom with all air being dumped from BC pre-ascent and during ascent, returned and did OOA drills. My buddy no wants a long hose like me. Silly Air2s.
Dive 3: 33' 81F 7' viz... Leisure dive until three divers started "Riverdancing" on the silty bottom. What a sight. They just stood there looking at us as we hovered right by. Hmm no wonder the viz was shot.

I bet they were wondering what you were looking at and why you were shaking your head.

Oh, by the way it was not my fault today! I am in the north GA mountains.

I am glad you find the humor in the sight. One day we may get to dive together. I really want to head up for a dive here after work in a moment.

My buddy and I will be up at Jocassee on Friday(Sept 10th) for anyone who wants to come hang out on the boat ramp!

I think I will try some "Riverdancing" with my split fins on and my snorkel attached to the wrong side......I might actual use it(snorkel) as a prop like a cane instead! That should be interesting!

Oh yeah, its the first time I have been diving in three weeks. My gills are so excited they are hyperventilating with joy!

What time will you be up there?
