Sat, Sept 22nd new dive site: Sacre Blou

[DocWong]

As luck would have it, we ended up on a new site that fate would have us dive. Actually we were pulling up anchor from another site and in the process ended up here, a site not dived before as far as we knew. The anchor was stuck at 100' and I couldn't let Marcos dive it alone to free, we both descended to free the anchor. This was to be our first dive of the day. Getting into the water there was a "sporty" current. We pulled ourselves to the the anchor line via a bow line and hand over hand descended. When we got to 90 feet, thank goodness the current stopped. Marcos freed the anchor using a 50 lb lift bag and did our dive.

We freely went from pinnacle to pinnacle, it was spectacular. Ascending, we shot the big surface marker buoy. I could tell there was decent current above us by the angle of my spool line.

Deco was uneventful and we were visited by a Comb Jelly that's at the end of this video.

Yea, at least one the one weekend a month that I'm not diving I can see my diving videos! ;-)

This coming weekend to Wednesday is a grueling 5 day tech course for me. I should survive that!

Coordinates?

Not sure, as that was the place we got the anchor stuck after drifting a bit on the boat. Tom has some unsure numbers, but we plan to dive those numbers again to see if they are good numbers. When I know the numbers are good, I can give them out.
