Diver's Notes

Drove down from Lakeland to dive with Little Deeper at the recommendation of Dan's friend Skylar. This was our first dive spearing lion fish with the homemade keeper. Dan carried the keeper and he and Dad carried sling spears. Took some video of the dive with a 50ft + filter and the colors came out perfectly. Visibility was great. A little over-weighted at 12lbs in the 3/2 so I will go lighter next time. Hit the north part of the ledge and found a handful of lion fish and lots of other species. Water temp was good with no hood.
