   Dive Number 38 Buddies
Sylvain, Richard
Surface temp
18°C
Starting pressure
3050psi
Depth
69ft
Visibility
~30ft
Time
29m
Water temp
9°C
Ending pressure
1650psi

Notes:

Sylvain and I used our usual approach of being the last ones in the water tonight, and for this reason, were still on the surface when another diver [Megan] had to abort her dive because of an equipment failure. Since her buddy Richard would have been faced with aborting as well, we invited him to join us.

After a false start descending, we made it down to the familiar wreck. Sylvain and I have contemplated penetrating the "salon", but were feeling ambivalent about it, and the presence of a third [non-advanced] diver in our party made any such penetration a non-issue. The bottom water was cool, but the motorcycle and bicycle remain there. I didn't see any bowling balls tonight...

22m
Water temp

Notes:

This was my first charter dive of the 2007 summer, my first "advanced" dive with Sylvain. Mike, Jim, Scott and Kim were there, as were Diane and Nancy. The dive itself was good; Sylvain and I came up after about 20 minutes, we're realizing that in the deeper dives, it's the timing at depth that will limit us more than running out of air.

After the dive, we had some pizza and drinks at Caiger's. Next dive is the Wolfe Islander in 7 days!
