Notes:

The dive after the Hilma Hooker was of course much shallower and Philip and I therefore got a much longer swim. I noted that the divers got a little clustered together. Not a big deal, but I prefer to stay out of other divers' ways and not be a hazard to anyone. Fair?

Also it should be said that as a Canadian I am too stubborn to admit if I am starting to get cold, and while in the water at this temperature, I happily report to my divemates' surprise that I remain quite comfortable with swimwear and rashguard only. Back on the boat after a second dive however, it can be difficult to suppress shivering. At that moment I always think that I'm going to want to go back to the room and have a hot shower, but by the time we get to shore, I'm warm already. Besides, why rinse the salt out of your hair if you're going back for more diving today?
