Diver's Notes

Got out a bit late but splashed at 9a going in negative. My first dive without a buddy.

We came down about 25 yards east of the Mizpah which I didn't see until the guide pointed it out. It was larger and more intact than anything I've dived in West Palm with some areas that could be explored. We immediately saw a huge Goliath Grouper and then explored the wreck. I didn't penetrate though.

I was on air with most everyone else on nitrox.

We continued on to the barge then finished up at the Amarylis. The guide had me surface alone at 10 minutes to Deco and I was picked up by the boat.
