<\/p>\nWe moved the boat closer to where Nice Bob had caught his bugs.<\/p>\n
I told Reverend Al that my computer didn’t work, and that I would be gauging my dives off of his computer – he went the deepest on the last dive.<\/p>\n
I know, not the smartest thing to do, but I was determined to go home with some bugs.<\/p>\n
Shortly after my tank refill, the compressor over heated and broke.<\/p>\n
Well, I got my fill, and another tank, so I went over and down to the reef Nice Bob discovered on the last dive.<\/p>\n

Other divers from others boats were on this reef; a diver passed right in front of me and over a lobster that I grabbed – I guess that person was out just for a fun night dive?<\/p>\n
There was a big colony of huge bugs in a hole; I grabbed onto one that was like grabbing a football, but it was in an awkward position and it broke free of my iron grip.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the reef, I caught a four pounder – the damn thing was grabbing onto the lip of my bag, preventing it from opening.<\/p>\n
After using my white belt Jiu Jitsu skills, I neutralized my opponent; it tapped out and crawled into my bag.<\/p>\n
If I would have been able to liberate every bug I tried to pin, I would have limited, but the terrain made it difficult to get a firm grip.<\/p>\n
Also, some times, unknown to me, I was actually cavern diving – these were pretty big reef indentations. <\/p>\n
I made it back to the boat with three bugs; it was now almost 3:00 AM.<\/p>\n
Other divers made it back with more bugs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chipper and Reverend Al were still waiting for tank refills – the owner of the Sea Bass had another boat near by, and tanks were being transferred for fills there.<\/p>\n
Great, Al didn’t do his dive, so now my bottom time and surface intervals are now all an educated guess – children, don’t try this at home.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The moon was full this morning; that was a concern for me, as rumor has it, bugs are afraid of any light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
