Open Water Diving in the Quarry for the weekend.
Spent the mornings this weekend diving in Millbrook quarry. My dive computer says it was 54 degrees on the platform, but it sure felt colder. Viz was about 10 feet, it was a little better Saturday, it was sunnier. What made this round of diving so good is the surface temps where in the high 70's, low 80's.
We had five students and they all did great. No poppers, no wonderers. The quarry is a real proving ground for a new diver, if you can dive here you can dive almost anywhere. One of our students, Kristine, is graduating college in the next few weeks. Her family is going on a cruise to the Caribbean as part of her graduation. She already has plans to to go diving while on her trip.
Yup, I sure I will be able hear Kristine laughing from St Lucia. She will be in warm, clear, bountiful seas and I will be still diving the quarry.
Congratulations to Ken, Rick, Rob, Kristine and Matt for achieving your Open Water Certification!
So what's next gang, Nitrox, Nav, Deep??
