Lessons Learned this weekend

It was great, once, we were under. Maybe in great, or Monday's sea, but doable. Just now we know, stay on top of the boat for the ride, don't get as sick. I think you guys had it better for the AM dive????? Then it turned a little rough. From what I could tell and over heard. Just a question for the people that may know. Does Wilmington differ at all in conditions? Or is it all the same in that area? I was reading a review for a art. reef near Wilmington in 50 feet of water and sounds like it is closer inshore. Trying to find out if that would be an option for us as well.

Wilmington is roughly the same as Morehead. Some of the boat rides are longer, some are shorter, depending on the dive site.

Just a small piece of advice . . . with your X-shorts, tie a loop of cord through the grommets in the front and back of the pockets. Then you can clip the things you put in your pockets to those loops. When you want to get something out, you can pull everything that's clipped to a loop out, remove the thing you want, and put the rest back without risking losing anything. If you just put things in the pockets, them when you try to take something out, you may inadvertently remove and lose something else.

+1 on that! I use wing bungees but the same idea. Good pockets will have rings and loops built in, inside and outside.
