We had a great weekend out with Diver Down. I had the rEvo on it's first offshore trip and the conditions were amazing. On Saturday, the seas were flat calm and the vis was 80ft on the U-352 and the Spar. The Spar was absolutely loaded with sharks. They were everywhere. The u-boat was a fun dive as well.
Sunday, the sears picked up a bit and vis was down slightly, but still great conditions overall. I saw the biggest turtle I've ever seen on the Schurz and then we made it back to the u-boat for our second dive.
We had a great time on Diver Down. This was a recreational charter, so we were going to two sites w/o a lot of time in between. Capt. Bobby was very cool about it though, and let Matt and I pull deco as long as they weren't waiting around for us to move spots. So we were in the water as soon as the pool opened and were able to run 40-45 minute RT's on all the dives. So minimal deco, but we got some decent bottom time in. We also finally met Colin (Slaterson) and he and Ryan did a great job as mates. I'll definitely go back out on the Diver Down.
Disclaimers on the vid:
1. Both Matt and I are awful cameramen and it is a POS hand held.
2. I am still very new on the rEvo and rebreathers, and I'm still a bit squirelly on it. So no comments from the peanut gallery
