Diver's Notes

Starting tank pressure 2200 PSI due to leaking burst seal. Rental tank from Dive Oahu was used for this dive.

Entry from the beach with moderate surf. Medium currents throughout the dive. Returned to beach subsurface as undertow was easier to traverse than surface swim. Visibility cleared up as we pushed further in depth.
