Diver's Notes

Second deep dive of the day. Just over 1 hour into the surface interval we were starting our dive to the Sea Tiger. Very little currents, if any. Visibility was very good.

For depth, remained just below the main deck on average, reaching a maximum depth of 105 feet. A white tip reef shark was skirmishing the bottom at around 120 feet in depth.

Was able to penetrate into the large cargo hold area in the ship where a very large green sea turtle was found resting.

Dive computer advised within 5 minutes of no decompression limit, started ascent. Made a deep stop at 45 feet for one minute and required safety stop at 15 feet for 3 minutes.
