I've been going out since early March and will admitt it's been a little chilly but maybe I'm just cold blooded. Really warmed up though last weekend, did my second(and I think my last) night dive on Friday towards my AOW as well as another dive Saterday Morning out of West Palm Beach.
Water was quite warm, especially considering it was windy and kinda chilly outside. The nightdive ...well I dunno. Did one last month and after loosing the lobster I was trying to catch to some other guy on the boat who I thought was helping me out then losing my flashlight in the process of trying to figure out what the #%@$@ just happend(lanyard rolled off my wrist, down the stick and under the reef) needless to say I couldn't even see the light finally found the rest of the group and went back up. Scarey man. This one went alittle better I guess but sucked down the tank of nitrox and hypervenilated the first time in my life when I hit the surface. Bleh...will be awhile before I go again.
Saterday's was nice though, was the longest I'd ever stayed down, saw some turtles and a barracuda. And the water was nice and toasty, I shouldn't of even bothered with the wetsuit.
Well anyways I'm rambling By the way my name is Matt...This would be my first post. I've got about 20 dives done so far in the last 6 or so months since I got certified. Been wanting to do a long trip, but the people in the club I go with are all old enough to almost be my grandparents. I guess that's what comes with living in Florida Not that it is a bad thing but wouldn't mind finding some younger people to go diving with.
Anyways see you all around!
Matt
