A lot of tourist on the other side of the glass (many taking pictures of
us)
and lots of other fish
no, I did not get to go in with the dolphins
Since my dive log
was stolen and I found out how usefully having this page up was (i.e. I can
recreate a usefully log out of it) I am now going to put more information
about the dives that I do in here (i.e. in and out psi's)
August 15 1999 (Dive number 16)
Manta ray Bay, CAL
39 minutes at 41 feet
On the beach before the dive I could see 2 sea otters out in the kelp
Upon entering the water this is what I saw (the visibility was 0 down
to ~35 feet then it improved so that we could see a 1 foot or 2 in front
of us)
Lots and Lots of Kelp
Lots schools of fish
Some red sea plants that totally covered an anchor that was down there
a rear sea smart
in the sand at the bottom there were many holes in the sand, the guide
said they belonged to inn-keeper worms
Starting PSI 2100
PSI out 500
August 15 1999 (Dive number 16)
Manta ray Bay, CAL
37 minutes at 45 feet
This dive was not one of my best. To start with before I got geared up
for this dive, I drooped my dive watch and the crystal broke. An on the
dive at about 45 feet I had a sudden surge of pain in my left ear (the was
no feeling of pressure build up, it was a surprise to me) and the pain I
later found out was my ear drum being popped, creating a temporary hole in
it. I used up my air to fast and had to use the guides emergence regulator (hopefully I will never have to use a emergence
regulator again). Now for
the stuff I did see.
I saw 3 distance types of kelp
I saw a shrimp
There where several large fish
Starting PSI 2200
PSI out 250 minus the amount of air I used from the guides tank
As of 8/22/99 I have spent a total of 10:10 under water.
I have not done any diving in a long time this is something I would like
to correct soon.
