Diver's Notes

Second dive this morning, the return leg of the first dive out into Scotsman's bay. The wind had picked up somewhat and it was a bit choppy on the surface. Tide was coming in, high tide today was 14:41, so the bay was filling up nicely. Quite a few swimmers, snorkelers, divers, dive boats and speed boats in the bay. Plenty of activity going on so a lot to keep an eye on while diving. We kept inside the yellow buoys, between them and the shore so we didn't have to worry about passing ribs and speed boats. A pleasant dive to wrap up the day.
