Diver's Notes

The next Dive was the Mid reef. I have to have the mid reef two other times and, though you would think that I would be bored by it at this point, I was actually was enjoying going back there. It's an interesting and fun area to explore as there are ledges that drop off about 20 feet with abundant sea life. After our minimum one hour obligatory surface interval we got ready to splash in again. I was second in line after Kyle, the dive master and this time I splashed in slightly positive and had no problems equalizing on the way down. I stayed with the group fairly closely also this time keeping an eye on Kyle and yet still having a time to explore and videotape the surrounding sea life. We hung out together in the beginning and the rest of them didn't trail off until we got close to the end of the Dive when it was ended up just being Kyle and myself. I again was videotaping things endlessly as I want to be able to start identifying the ocean wildlife.
