Notes:

Tonight's club dive was a night dove to the Wolfe Islander. I've been out far too little this summer, but didn't want to miss a night dive to one of the best known wrecks in the area. Eleven divers were guests on the Proteus, and as the odd man out, I happily joined Scott and Kim, who had offered to let me join them.

The dive went off without a hitch, following Kim's plan - one lap around the bottom, once around the deck, and then explore around the salon area until time to ascend. I was one of a few lucky divers who spied not one but two American eels on the dive (one on the port ramp and one at the starboard lower deck beside the salon). The sighting was a coup for me, but made me lament leaving my camera at home.

After the ascent and a quick change we returned to shore under the light of a nearly full moon, with Jupiter hanging like a pendant underneath. Great times!
