First full fresh water dive since being certified. Also first dive without a DM. Went with a group from Central Oregon divers on Facebook. Great group and lots of fun. I rented equipment from Central Oregon Diving. Unfortunately the BCD inflator hose was broken and I didn't get to dive. The hose was also not made for that BCD as it was a child's size hose. I could not even elevate it above my head. So, I layer out the first dive. Jerry-rigged the hose for the second dive. Unfortunately Central Oregon Diving only reimbursed me $9 out of the $50 some odd that I paid. Doesn't seem fair. It was nice second dive however. Deepest dive so far at 45 feet. Dove with Rich Costa, Bob Adams, Sarah Clark , and Jared Stratton

Good day with Bob, Wade, and Sarah. There were new triangles floating underwater to practice buoyancy skills. It was my first warm day that I dove in Central Oregon. Huge Crawfish.
This was the warmest day of diving yet. Surface temperatures approaching 80 with 70 degrees water temps. Diving bodies were Wade, Bob, and Sarah. Huge crawfish that looked like baby lobster. Dove through three pvc triangles to work on buoyancy. Great Day
First time out with Mike. We both were testing new equipment. I had a new dry suit and Mike had a new BCD, regs and computer. I had a little dampness in my suit around my wrist seals and left thigh. Mike panicked at the end of the dive. Some kids threw him a donut. He was over-weighted.
