Weather was picture perfect, the diving was really good. The new additions to Mermet was fun to see. Glen does a really great job of keeping that place in tip top shape.

I finally got to dive my doubles in OW. I have to admit, the first dive, I was thinking to my self, Jeeez...what did I get my self into now? The second and third dives got a little better. By the time I did my 4th dive, which was a night dive, I felt like I had been diving them for years. I know I still have a long way to go with them, but I am happy I have a comfort level with them. I didnt go any deeper than 66 foot either. I have to admit, its pretty cool to do four, forty+ minute dives without switching out tanks.

I had a great time diving with theskull and his friend (Bill, forgive me...I forgot her name already.) Outside of the fin strap attack, I think everyone had a really great time.

Peggy? Is that right?

I had a great time, too. Some very relaxing dives, and I got my weight and trim all straightened out with my new single-tank wing setup.

Her name is Peggy, but you may also hear her called SCUBA Sally.

And now I CAN say I have dived deep with DeepDiverBob!!

I was looking for that thread to reply to, but I couldnt find it.

I think that may be my favorite dive I have ever done there. That was really cool.

Hey Bill...how is Peggy/Scuba Sallys finger? Is she going to make it for class this weekend?

? Haven't spoken to her since we left Sunday.

Bigger concern is whether we can even dive there. We need a flow of about 5 cubic ft per second or less . . . and right now it is 314!! That's what a big rain does to our local uw caves. Can only hope that a few dry days will get it back down again. It was a little less than 4 this past weekend.
