Diver's Notes

Open Water Cert Dive #2
Skills Demonstrated: Full mask clear at depth, out of air alternate air source use w/buddy and controlled ascent, navigation w/compass on the surface and at depth, tired diver tows, buoyancy control and hovering, basic computer use, along with more snorkel work.

Self aid on cramp relief midway through dive (left calf), but fine afterwards.

Comfortable in 7mm suit, though mask lens fogging was an issue, though no leaks today. Needs more cleaning. Back inflation BCD was much easier to use and maintain body position, than jacket style used in the pool.

Observed same fish, a nice drop off to >50', the car, pipe, boats and a helicopter. Some murkiness near the bottom by the helo.
