Figuring we could sneak in a dive before the wedding Jess and I headed out to the shores to continue playing with our dry suits.
Since I’m a bit of a dumb ass I made multiple changes to my gear configuration at once and subsequently got very disoriented. First I put my computer on my right wrist (vs. left). Then I moved my light from my right side to my left (always opposite computer). That combined with new shoes and such got me totally confused.
Luckily, we had a good dive anyway! We found a cluster of spiny lobsters hiding in a rock and found two wander around the sand flats. I got to see a bat ray with a minimum 4 ft. wing span fly by. We also saw a very large halibut get up and swim away. Jess got to see a second bat ray but I was too far away by that point to get to see it.
We’re doing better with the buoyancy each dive and I think we’ll have it nailed pretty well in short order.
