Dive one went well last night. Wind was picking up out of the south so there was a bit of a surf entry and vis was lousy until we got deeper then 12 feet. Got out to 71 feet vis was a spotty 10 foot max. Did our skills and drills then headed back to the exit point dive time was 20 mins plus 3 min safety stop.

We shifted to right cove at fort wetherill for dive two. Got in the water and started the dive but vis shut down too less then 2 feet. so we bailed after 6 minutes of bottom time.
Hey one good one bad I'll take. so did the participants at least they got wet.
