Trip Report-CSSP
Sunday Dives.
Arrived Sunday about noon.
Dive gas 36%, Drysuit, steel 98s, and twenty-four lbs of weight.
Surface Temp 72 degrees according to my Uwatec.
Vis at surface was very good.
First Dive- Heather, Austin, Andrew and Chip
At the 21ft thermocline temperature was in the mid sixties.
Visibility had dropped to maybe 10ft.
Ran out to the cruiser from middle dock then cruised back.
Warm up dive.
Second Dive- Chip and Myself
Scootered from middle dock to airplane 12 minutes one way.
Visited the airplane.
Then we went deeper (not much.)
At 41ft it was 52 degrees. Burrr
Visibility really was shabby- maybe 8ft you would see an outline.
Probably safe to say 5ft at the outside so we scootered side by side.
Dive time was 45 minutes.
72 degrees never felt so good.
It was fun adding gas to my drysuit trying to hold a heading on the scooter.
Need to add tow cord to my little scooters and mount a compass.
My wrist seals need to be revisited need to cut them back - had some tingling after the first dive in my right wrist and slight swelling. Dryfit undershirt and Columbia top worked great wicked the moisture away. Need to work on my safety stops- thought more about it when I was out of the water- not to happy with myself there.
Ron Carlo was out and we visited for a little bit and he was diving his new Optima rebreather for fun. He was out finishing up a new instructor and was his usual happy self.
End of the day was nice and quiet sitting there listening to the insects in late afternoon Texas sun.
