Jamie and Fine did come diving today. They met me at the apartment and we drove to the beach, geared up and got in. There was a strong wind out of the SE and moderate surf, but not much current. The tide was coming in, so I did not try to find the blocks. Instead, we headed out slightly North of East and ran into the Big Coral Knoll at the 20 minute mark.
Fine was better weighted for this dive. Hard to know if she would have been light once she breathed out the bulk of her tank, but she was fine for the hour we were under.
We spotted a small Green Turtle on the Southern edge of the Knoll, but I misunderstood Fine's signal regarding her air and we turned around with 2000 psi in her and Jamie's tanks. We headed South to the Fish Camp Rocks, then West to the beach. I saw a large crab in the sand, but could not get anyone's attention. Not a bad dive, but not a great dive, either.
I tried to get Jamie to make a second dive today so we could get the skills out of the way, but Fine was cold and wasn't going to make another dive. That was that.
