Notes:

Although it makes for good dive planning, it was unfortunate that our first dive of the day was the deeper of the two. Jason's dive anxiety seemed to influence him leading up to our entry and descent. The haphazard allocation of buddies on the boat probably didn't help, either. We let everyone else go down ahead of us, and then made our way down the rope.

Jason did admirably, slowing down, stopping and ascending slightly when feeling stressed, but ultimately descending down the rope to a depth of 87 feet (watching from slightly above, I made it to 84). I didn't actually see the boat in a little over 90 feet of water, but Jason did.

Nevertheless, we communicated well, no one lost control, and everyone ascended safely. We'll put this dive in the win column.
