First real wreck, 1st dive of 2011: Horse Ferry
SEA SICKNESS: I was getting sea sick after popping 3x Dramamine 20 min before... waves.
OK Viz until 40ft deep but deeper go really dark... like night diving
The water felt surprisingly warm and the thermocline was at 42ft where I did not feel much temperature difference.
ISSUES:
1) Had issues with buoyancy which took some time to get in control and when I looked up I could not even see Pat or Coco; not even their flashlights!
2) They came back for me after 1-2 min where I had more buoyancy issues. I was always over or under them. I only saw the 1st few zebra muscle covered beams of the wreck and missed out on the rest.
3) I was always chasing Pat and Christiane and when I finally reached them, they began surfacing. Miscommunication between them.
4) When I got back to the surface, I was too sick to come back down.
