This was supposed to be a regular open water dive with the Ultimate Software peoplez. It was, except for the fact that we passed the 60 foot mark, but that was okay. The wreck was very nice with lots of swim through opportunities and lots of fish. Diane panicked again when we hit deck level because of overexertion. I was able to calm her down and she finished the rest of the dive great. Tried shooting a few goatfish but kept missing. Saw some jacks in the distance but wasn't able to get anywhere near them. Great dive with Mike Wright, Mariana, Eammon, Tommy Fernandez, and one of his long time students.
