After a short surface interval, we headed back under to complete Daniel's check-out. This time I shed another 2 lbs, giving me 2 total! I've noticed the more weight I shed from my BCD, the better control over buoyancy I have. No big surprise giving what I've been told, but still kind of shocked me the difference a few pounds makes!
For his last check dive, Daniel led us along the wall, turned at 10 minutes, and navigated back. He swims too fast (and uses a lot of air in the process). Something that he'll learn to correct, I suppose, like the rest of us.
More bass and a few brim. This is only the second time I've been on the south wall heading west, and I like the area better than the east wall. I think Joseph and I will do this one again today, albeit a little further out.
