Dove with Instructor John’s Open Water Students – the young short guy from last weekend who I will now call Mason and another student Spike.*<\/strong><\/p>\n In With: 3000 psi We had 16 people or so come over to Catalina – 15 divers and my girlfriend Jane.<\/p>\n There were three non-students (two of John’s ex-students and Suzuki’s husband, Arrogant Asshole – See last dive).<\/p>\n Jim came along as a safety diver.<\/p>\n John divided us in to diving groups with Jim, John and myself as leads.<\/p>\n My charge was Mason, Spike and Pancho.<\/p>\n The plan was for them to do a basic checkout and then for me to take them on a short tour.<\/p>\n Spike and Mason descended.<\/p>\n Pancho got down to 10 feet and came back up.<\/p>\n “I’m going in,” he said.<\/p>\n I helped Pancho in and informed Jim.<\/p>\n Mason and Spike apparently passed their basic check out and John handed them to me on the surface; they both had about 1500 psi.<\/p>\n We submerged and went down to the Jacques Cousteau memorial, turned around and took a scenic route back.<\/p>\n It was a short dive, but they were almost down to 500 psi by the time we got to the stairs.<\/p>\n Spike hit his head on my tank coming in.<\/p>\n I waited for the rest at the stairs.<\/p>\n A lady from another class found a blue fin which I threw up to the top of the stairs.<\/p>\n It turned out to belong to Morticia, a student who was diving with John.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Casino Point, Catalina, CA Dove with Instructor John’s Open Water Students – the young short guy from last weekend who I will now call Mason and another student Spike.* In With: 3000 psi Out With: 2100 psi Max depth: 40 feet Waves: 1 foot, insignificant Visibility: 15-20 feet Water Temperature: Cool Total Bottom Time: About […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,19,3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
