This was a deep dive for John’s Advanced students.
We submerged and followed John down the shelf.
I’m so glad that John found a light on the last dive and gave it to me.
It was so dark off the shelf that it was similar to night diving.
Basically, we went down the shelf to 100 feet.
John turned around, checked the students’ air and motioned to go back.
I guess I’ll call this a “boomerang dive.”
We did a “safety stop” once out of the canyon and made it ashore with no problems.
A pretty uneventful dive, just the way I like it with students in tow.
