Notes:

After an hour surface interval and chimichangas and samosas from the Sleepless Goat, I paired up with Kim for the second dive. We descended part way down the wreck, and entered one of the vast cargo bays. On the way up, I misunderstood and thought she wanted to end earlier than she acutally did; we made it to our 15 foot safety stop, then turned and went down to see the underside of the boat (including the scar of the crash that sunk it, I think). Both dives of the day were excellent, and I'll look forward to the three tank dive on August 9th, if I don't manage to get out before.

Notes:

The first of our two-tank dive event on the Keystorm was fun: ten of us piled into the small "Island Diver" boat run by Thousand Island Diving; we worried we wouldn't all fit, but the speedy boat got us to customs and we sped through in time to be the second of seven boats on the wreck. Steve and I dove to the base of the steel freighter, and fought against traffic coming up for our surface interval. The wreck was great, but with seven boats diving it, it was a little busy for my liking.
