Our third dive of the day was really a continuation of our second dive and the last part of Billy's student's check-out. They navigated us back to the entry point using natural navigation (wall, structures, sites) as a guide. Before beginning, we all hung out floating about the surface for 15 minute or so. Very fun dive: I like doing the out-and-back with the long break between. Wondering if Billy is going to incorporate that as his last two check-out dives from now on? Seems more fun and interesting than just navigating around the "regular" sites along the roadway. Especially while it's still cold under 20'...
Noticed the thermocline was a little more mixed, and lower than earlier this month. But still, at 22-23', seems a bit higher than last year when we did our check-outs. Maybe it gets a lot warmer over the next couple of weeks.
