This weeks big girl dive :)

[down4fun]

so this week we went out to dive the RBJ which sits in 260 feet of water, this is actually two wrecks that sit on top of each other in a X. We had 2-4 foot seas and the gauges were showing 1.8 knots of current so we made the decision to hot drop to the wreck. The seas made getting to the back of the boat with my rebreather, 2 al 80's and and a al40 a little challenging, but i got there. We had beautiful blue water top to bottom and when we reached the wreck there was minimal current. Our plan was a 30 minute bottom time starting with a swim thru at 260 where the two wrecks cross, then up to 240 for the remaining time on the decks.

Hope you enjoy the video shot by tony land aka tienuts

Feels like it sometimes, too. Just for giggles i decide to weigh the set up i wore yesterday and it came in at 178 pounds!!! My shoulders are a little sore today and my legs could have used a bit more strength coming up the ladder. By the end of summer I should be in great shape.

Good thing you weren't on OC.

True. A big part of my motivation to going ccr was i knew i wanted to do deep wrecks but didn't want to be climbing up a ladder in double 130's plus deco gas and travel gas.
