Diver's Notes

This was our first time diving a bridge span and the second time diving with Panama City Diving.
We got to the marina around 7:30 and the boat departed around 8.
It was a 45 minute ride out to the dive site. The weather was overcast and sprinkling. Red Sea Tugboat had some people around and so we went to the Hathaway Bridge Span #1.
I went in the water with an aluminum tank, 8 lbs of weight (same as freshwater), but only the top of my 3mm wet suit. Unfortunately it wasn't enough weight and I added an extra 8 lbs while holding to the line, rushing to get down.
Patricia used a steel tank and 12 lbs of weight.
This was considered our Deep Dive so Steve had some different colors and shined a light on them so we could see the effects that the depth had on light.
We were only about 70 ft deep.
We swam around the bridge span then through it.
We saw a lot of minnows and a few angel fish. There was supposedly a barracuda nearby, but I never saw it.
