Notes:

Scott and Kim made plans to have a night dive tonight, and I seized the opportunity to join them. Kim buddied up with Pierre, and Scott and I went together. We lost the line out to the wreck, so instead, we "explored".

We saw catfish, lots of bass, and a couple large pike. There was a couple smooching on a park bench as we got out of the water, but like the other wildlife, they scattered when we got too close.

Depth
80ft
Visibility

Time
26m
Water temp
17°C
Ending pressure
1900psi

Notes:

Our club dive got rerouted to the Comet tonight because of good conditions - the clam water isn't always there, so we went half an hour out to the Comet. The water was clear and it was warm above the thermocline, about five feet off the bottom.

My buddy was not someone I had been out with before; he had some difficulty with his ears getting down, which may have led to some increased air consumption. We came up with 2000 still in my tank, but the dive was still excellent.

   Dive Number 45 Buddy

Starting pressure
2950psi
Depth
79ft
Visibility
good
Time
31m
Water temp
11°C
Ending pressure
950psi

Notes:

Jean-Olivier and I were the first on the wreck of the Wolfe tonight (the Queen Mary dive was rerouted because of weather), and we quickly descended on the bow and navigated around the base of the ship. We looked for the open door at the front of the engine room from the outside, but got disoriented, so instead we went in from the chimney and swam out from there.

We also ventured into the salon before coming up.

There was agreement about the cool temp at the bottom; I had been diving with a beanie instead of a hood. Mike was diving wet for the first time in over a year (his drysuit is under repair).
