Diver's Notes

Second dive of 4 for the OW check-out; swam to platform to review and check buddy ascent skills. While Billy led this skill test, Eric went through some buoyancy exercises with the students. Very large, large mouth bass swam around students; I tried to corral him onto the platform but he was having none of it! Water temp is good at platform, but gets cold fast over the edge of the road bed.
