sea tiger x 3 !

[VBlueV]

'was a great weekend!

'dove the sea-tiger three days in-a-row =D

friday 1: with doubles and a 50% deco: actual time inside the wreck at 110fsw was 25minutes..
only a few minutes of deco

saturday 2: fun dive with a single tank.. ahh, now i can fit through that portal =)

then we threw in a dive on the YO-257 and san pedro for good measure..

here's vinh in the san pedro..

wow! i hope that's not the front of the sub =/

on the way to the YO-257.. we caught up to a pod of dolphins that were bow-riding another boat..
so we jumped in to snorkel above 'em.. one section even surfaced 10 feet in front of me =)

sunday 3: with helium doubles and a 50% deco: we explored way off the bow of the sea-tiger down to 150fsw.. and my first time with helium =D
/in a chipmunks voice.. "man! it is friggin' cold down here!!!"

thanks to all my dive buds: jimbo, sherm, jay, vinh, bach, and dave..

it was way cool swimmin' with the spinners
they say that dolphins like you better without that strange scuba gear/tank and the weird bubble noises..

when we first jumped in with them.. we were like, "where'd they go?".. as i only scanned just below the surface..

but then i looked straight down.. the super pod was swimming 20 feet below us.
without notice and maybe to mess with me.. a bunch of 'em punched through the water almost right at me.. now that was cool :14:

WC.. i did have to burn a day of leave friday.. but it was soooo worth it.. on the boat ride from hickam to the ST.. the water was pure glass, no swell, no wind, not even any ripples.. beautiful! plus, i earned my full wreck-penetration C-card on that dive. we even squoze under the grate pictured in catherine's avatar..

You did?...?...?...? (can I smoke some of that?)...there has been some miscommunication obviously...most likely on my part.

We haven't even started yet

-- Lost Line Drill
-- Lost Buddy Drill
-- OOG Exit
-- No mask exit
-- Siltout exit
-- Touch Contact
-- etc etc etc

...and no my living room does not count as dives 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...etc etc

these are but a few things that we have yet to accomplish. (Unless Jimbo is creating JCA "Jimbo's Certification Agency" then I apologize for commenting)

Oh yeah...and you suck cause I didn't get to see any damn dolphins!

I got a dolphin on saturday too. Almost close enough to touch but not quite. Swam with us for five minutes. After that my divers could have looked at sand for the next hour and been happy.

That sure sounds like our dive on Sunday. Nothing but a lot of sand. Our information source might have been reading his compass upside down or something. Well have to see when we talk to him next.

here's the inside joke with the chipmunk's voice..
"hypothermia induced tourette's"..
