It took forever to get air; I managed to dive probably around 2:00 AM.
I thought Nick was calling it quits because of a cramp, but he went with me.
Nick called it quits after 20 minutes because of the current; he was just tired.
I continued on, but couldn’t find any lobsters.
I think with 24 divers jumping over board, the lobsters in the area are pretty much spooked.
My big assed canon light was going dim, so I started to use the light that Instructor John found on the September 17th dive.
Such a small light really gives off a lot of candle power!
