Notes:

Success. Jason and I descended the line and despite trepidation, we left the bottom of the line along the chain to the wreck. I watched my computer carefully to follow the depth, and was pleased to see Jason manage so well as we passed deeper than 60 ft (beyond which I count the dive as "deep").

After a quick tour of the wreck, I was distressed to see my right wrist bare, void of computer. I attempted to communicate this to Jason, but he didn't understand. I retraced our path over the wreck, but didn't find it. Returning to the bottom of the line, I managed to communicate my dilemna to Jason, but with only 1400 psi in his tank, we decided not to return for another look. Frustrated, I ascended, and boarded the boat. Happily, another diver had found it, and returned it to me.

And so the dive was saved - good descent, good wreck, and the computer was found!

Jason and I stopped at Dive Tech on the way home, where Dan tied a couple of bungees into the computer to replace the broken strap.
