Diver's Notes

Visibility started out pretty good at the gravel loader. It deteriorated quickly as we approached the pier though.

There were lots of nudibranchs and schools of fish, but the highlight of this dive was the 8ft grey nurse shark that glided 15ft in front of me. It was majestic and he seemed to be as interested in me as I was in him. I felt like he was watching me the entire time.

Not bad for a 10m dive. As we made the return trip, it became evident that I was underweighted. I had to keep swimming to prevent myself from floating up. I'd guess another 2-4 pounds worth of trim weights would have done the trick.
