Diver's Notes

Dive Buddy: Sean from class.

The object of this training dive was to successfully recover a block of fake gold bars using the Jack recovery pattern.

We descended to about 30 ft where the tape line/Baseline for our search was already setup... we quickly found our line and anchor on the tape measure. A group of about 10 other divers descended almost on top of us striking Sean in the head and muddying the waters to zero visibility. We decided to surface and regroup.

After a quick discussion we descended again and quickly found our line again and then I ran the line. Adding the extra wight from the line anchor is tricky and takes a minute to adjust your buoyancy... I also let too much rope out initially and quickly got tangled up. You should always keep the rope taut or with minimum slack.

I followed a North compass heading set my line and pulled the rope once to signal Sean I was ready to go. We both began our search and found the item on our first pass.

We inflated the Lift Bag and ascended to the surface for a successful recovery.
