Dive Buddies: Eli Chavez, Britney Pellouchoud, Rebecca Riley
Four person night dive during a heat wave! Britney borrowed a lot of stuff. Gave everyone a different colored tank light to make it easier to keep track. Saw a few horn sharks on the swim out and by the canyon one swam right next to me and Britney. Saw lots of rock crabs and a decent sized octopus.
Rebecca miscommunicated (or I misunderstood) her pressure and we turned the dive early and then Britney had a runaway ascent and surfaced unexpectedly from ~45 ft. I followed her to make sure she was okay. Went down to check on Eli who had noticed but was doing his 3 min safety stop. Rebecca surfaced as well, but Britney and Rebecca didn't understand the hand signal Eli gave for safety stop and went back down and then all the way back up again, so I suggested we all just surface to talk it out. We swam back on the surface until we could see bottom again (~18 ft depth) and then descended to swim in the shallows a bit with our remaining gas. Saw a huge spiny lobster, about 2 feet long!
Afterwards Rebecca was so pumped that she and I ended up snorkeling by the marine room with the remaining charge in our dive lights. We saw a handful of fairly large leopard sharks, lots of rays and lobsters, and a lone tope shark! Great night of diving!
