Lover's Point quick report 12-30...

[mikeguerrero]

I arrived at BW only to see some poor new OW student panic with his instructor. The water was too choppy and I refrained from diving, I had no partner

Since my dive partner called me to cancel her trip, I decided to visit my favorite local, Lover's couldn't have been better, it was just really nice, 20 feet of visibility with pool conditions on entry and exit.

I dove solo with the encouragement of a dive shop owner in my locale, he was close by training two other students and said just blow your whistle if you are in trouble with a smile, it was enough to get me to pull out my gear, I was just enjoying the scene.

It just got better and here are the pics to share:

If you are in trouble can't you just hit the "UP" button on your I3 and everything is OK?? (BIG smile)

Why didn't I go diving today?

Thanks for the report....

personally I would have passed on diving solo....there are things that you have to be prepared to handle that you might not be aware of yet at this point in your diving career.

Why didn't I go diving today?

It's not about diving all the good days but about missing all the bad days. None of us
can dive every day, or even every weekend day. So let's make sure the days we dive
are good ones, and that we stay home on the bad ones and do the yardwork or
whatever that needs doing. If that means we stay home on a few good days, so be it.
WE'll be around to see more good days.

Those of you who weren't around 20 years ago when all we did was go to Monterey and
see what it looked like have no idea how good you have it today.
