gmonkey42Quick update because I'm going to meet my friend soon for her birthday dinner.
This dive was at Monastery beach in Carmel. That's a little harder because it's not as protected and gets wavier than the places I've been before but I did fine. It was with a different dive master than the one I've gone with before and he went a little faster so that coupled with the water movement made this one more strenuous. I used up a lot of air. It's hard to compare, though, because I had an 80 cu.ft. steel tank that started with 2000 psi, whereas I usually dive with a 60 cu.ft. aluminum tank starting at 3000 psi. I need a calculator. I had about 600 psi left when we were done.
I got my own BCD too, and this was the first time I've used it. The valve system is a little different from what I'm used to. I want to try to get one more dive in before I start my Advanced class just to practice some more with the new BCD.
