Notes:

This was the first of my training dives for my PADI advanced open water dive. I learned that although $9.00 Wal-Mart lights are cheap, they're no substitute for bright underwater lights. Also learned a couple more things that I ought to add to my wishlist: a noisemaker, a light beacon, a whistle (I may have a suitable one of those already). I already knew I needed an underwater compass.

We managed to find the line and the wreck, saw a few fishies, including a medium-sized pike (about 50 cm?) which swam right past us. Overall very relaxed.
