Notable Event: This was the first time that I ever dove with a computer!

I bought Dominic’s old computer from him for $60.

Neither of us knew how the thing works, so I stuck to the dive tables and just looked at what the computer did.

The plan was to try deep first and then shallower if need be.

I was the first overboard and submerged down the anchor line to 85 feet.

I trolled around the anchor line, then went South West and ran in to a heard of lobsters on the sand.

Easy pickins’!

There’s no where to hide here.

I was buzzed by a sea lion looking for someone to play with.

I must have been narced because I had a hard time navigating; I wasn’t sure from which direction I had been.

Within 15 minutes I had bagged five good sized (for this season) bugs that I knew didn’t need remeasuring once I surfaced.

I watched my air really carefully and started to surface at 1000 psi.

I thought to myself, “If I only caught two more I wouldn’t have to do a second dive, I could just start drinking beer.”

I surfaced after an open water safety stop and made a short surface swim back to the boat.

The rest made it back with zero to three bugs.

Reverend Al brought up an enormous bug!

The decision was made to stay put for the second dive.
