My second dive of the day is a war of 1812 wreck called"The Prince Regent" Another beginner dive. It sits in about 14-20 feet of water. Not very deep. Again I had some buoyancy issues. I think it had more to do with the shallow depth of the water. I dropped four pounds of weight from earlier, and it seems to have helped. I was fine once I got past about 12 feet.I think for tomorrow,I'll keep the weight off.
The dive was a bit clearer than the first, but there is a lot less boat traffic at this site. The visibility was better as well. I saw more fish this time. Bass, Perch, and mud pout.
The ship was a bit more spread out, and a bit more varied in depth. It wasn't just laying flat. I enjoyed this more than my first dive. I can't wait until tomorrow!!! with a little luck; I'll be certified by this time tomorrow.
Rebecca was my dive buddy again for this dive. I'm sure diving with someone you've come to trust has made it easier.
