Diver's Notes

Dive #2 of 5 for Daniel's check-out. After a short surface interval, Daniel snorkeled to the bus buoy and back while Billy changed out his tank. Then it was back down for us to the bus, along the road, and back to the platform for more skills. I observed and shot some footage.

I decided to try dropping some weight for this dive. Thinking I was at 10, I was actually at 8 total: I had 3 lb weights instead of 4 in the pockets. and 1 in each trim. Surprisingly, I still seemed a little heavy.

I also tried shaking loose the new fins and they stayed securely in place. I can really tell a difference in comfort, though the extra movement, however slight, will take some getting used to.
