  Good with 12lbs of weight. Went by myself with Pro Diver because Jill has an eye infection. Got very lucky and they decided to dive the Hellcat, a WWII fighter plane that crash landed just short of shore. It was about 1/4 mile off-shore. Pretty well preserved, apparently only discovered 8-10 years ago and only divable within the last few years due to munitions they were concerned about. This is a video of the dive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLxCuO9D-Ac Really great dive. You could have sat in the cockpit if you didn't have tanks. Very well preserved. Saw a couple eels, a big moray in the cockpit. Great dive and you used up about 1000psi of air on this dive and then surfaced and motored to the next site to finish our tanks.
