Notes:

Despite moderate rain, Sylvain and Mike and I drove to Brockville to dive the wreck of the Rothesay as the fourth in our series of five advanced dives. The visibility was pretty good despite the weather, and I made use of the new compass that Cheryl recently got me as a gift.

Sylvain and I became focussed on mapping/measuring the wreck as per our objective, but more advance planning would have been helpful, as would a greater underwater sign vocabulary. Next time we return to this wreck, we'll take a more leisurely approach and enjoy the sights and spend less time with measuring lines.

One more advanced dive to go - Deep!
