Diver's Notes

This was our 2nd boat dive of the day and it was the Red Sea.
It was still sprinkling and there was two boats there already. One was a small fishing boat and the other was a boat with two divers that had air compressors, but no tanks. We waited until they were finished to tie in.
We had gone to this wreck the last time we were in PCB.
This time I still had the top half of my wetsuit, but I used a 4 and a 3 lb weight bag on each side, for a total of 14 lbs plus an aluminum tank.
This was considered our Wreck Dive so we drew it on our white slate and got the depths at the various levels of the ship.
Then as we were swimming around we saw a Barracuda and a Goliath Grouper. The grouper had to be more than 150 lbs. We followed it into the wreck and swam in and out of the boat a couple of times.
Then we went back down towards the bow, where we tied off, but this time we went on the sand and chose a couple of sea shells.
Overall there were a lot of smaller fish swimming around and it was a good time.
We were both nauseated from the first dive, but felt fine after the second dive.
