Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia diving wet. At 70 I think that's it for me in winter at 43F water & 34 air....

Couple of dives at the Poor Knights, New Zealand.

Went out with Dive Tutukaka yesterday. The Poor Knights is my local "world class dive site", but living a one hour drive away from Tutukaka, it always seem like too much effort to get there these days! Haven't dived with Dive Tutukaka for a long time, but had no hassle diving solo with a certification and redundant gas source. Usual mix of Australian, European and American tourists on the boat. Dives were limited to 70 minutes which I think is reasonable unlike the 45 minutes I experienced on the Great Barrier Reef last year.

Despite a good boating forecast, it was a sloppy ride out to...

A rare dive from my own boat as I had someone else on board. Pretty dive site and a huge number of fish, but the purpose was to catch a crayfish (lobster) for dinner. I saw one and missed my chance. Never mind!

Was at the Poor Knights with Dive Tutukaka on the 27th. Since it had been five months since my last dive I decided to go with the guide for the first dive.

The guide was a 19 year old young lady. They sure start them young these days. Was a bit surprised when she took us quite a ways into a relatively narrow cave. No prior warning. I thought that overhead diving was a no-no. Only two of the six divers she was guiding had flashlights.

Second dive was solo. No issues, enjoyed the peace.

Scary Cave? Pretty dumb on her part, although I appreciate her sense of adventure. I always used to lay a line in that cave. I heard a story that focused my mind.
