And I'd like to thank Ricky for doing the right thing, no matter what the cost and putting others ahead of himself. Regrettably Poety was ill and couldn't make it, but she was kind enough to stand by her pledge. Thank you Nicole!
I blew the whole guest of honor thing... but at least now everyone knows that I can keep a secret!

Tas helped with a Pennsylvania girls science project. Thanks Tas!
Vis on the Castor was about 70-80', vis on the reef for the first 2 dives was 60-70', and then went to poop.

Kitty has a secret.
Two of these guys made close passes at us for the entire dive. Luckily, there were no attacks.
A batfish!
A very laid back coronetfish. This was how the water looked on the last dive.
A magical lobster with eggs grants us three wishes for releasing her. I wished for a coolant leak.
