Diver's Notes

Yesterday's dive at Fantasy Lake was so nice, I talked Jen into coming back out with me today. We did our first dive, then waited for Billy and his student to do our others.

We did the same route Elle, Joseph and I did yesterday: In from the old dock area, across the basketball courts and brim beds, and along the east wall. I went a little further than yesterday; all the way to the end of the "flat" wall on the far eastern edge. Then swam back without cutting corners, so the route was a little longer overall. Which may explain why my SAC rate was down, being that we traveled further in less time...

Saw a lot of fish again today, especially along the wall. Largest bass I've seen to date at FL under the wing of the plane (near the brim bed).

Traveled back over basketball courts, shot a couple of hoops, swam over to and under the dock, and back to shore. I actually navigated back to where we began, so all is good.

SAC = 1.12 cf/min
