Diver's Notes

First dive with my newly repaired regs and tank! Finally my own kit. I feel really secure because I know how to put it all together and we adjusted my BC so I wasn't rolling around in the water like I was last dive.

First dive at the east side of the island. Pretty easy entry but I find getting down the rocks on the way to the water pretty hard carrying so much weight.

I read some articles about buoyancy and trim, so I decided to try and cut my weight back. 2 pounds less and my buoyancy and trim were a lot easier to maintain. I think I've been fighting the weights on other dives, which is exhausting. My second stage also doesn't bleed air anymore. I had the same amount of air left at the end as the boys!

We saw a giant cuttlefish guy and a tiny little boxfish that looked like a well propelled bubble, lots of big swarming schools of catfish, and some beautiful red and purple and gold fish.
