    Logged Dive #169 – Safety Diver For Open Water Class

    Casino Point, Catalina, CA

    Dove with Instructor John, his ex-private OW student (see dives #126 and ), and his Open Water class of students: a mother and daughter team – Kathy and Paris, General Custer and Dr. Smith*

    In With: 3200 psi
    Out With: 2000 psi
    Max depth: 45 feet
    Waves: 1 foot at most, insignificant
    Visibility: 20 feet plus
    Water Temperature: 57 degrees Fahrenheit

    *Student names have been changed.

    We did the usual pre-SCUBA skin dive with all four students.

    His ex-private student also came to watch.

    The women found free diving a lot easier when they deflated their BCD jackets.

    On the SCUBA dive, I submerged first and waited at the bottom for the others to follow.

    Paris and General Custer had a hard time getting down, but eventually everyone did!

    Kathy and Paris did their basic skills checkout dive.

    John fed the fish frozen peas and then we followed him down to the casino point, catalina.

    Dr. Smith pointed out that he had only 500 psi – John had me take him in.

    He unnecessarily apologized to me for running low on air.

    “Don’t worry,” I said.

    This was a perfect student dive.
