What a day! What a beautiful day. We have a Plan. Meaghan R and Ethan C have completed their OW diver course this morning. They have to do one more dive to earn their drysuit diver certification. During that dive we will take a whack at debris they discovers while touring during their OW course. We are joined by the course DM Cassandra K. Earlier in the morning, before the course commenced, Cassandra and I did a little beach clean up as a warm up to our dive against debris. Not to worry. That debris is not included in this report. I figure that the four of us will do okay but we could do better. DM Ken K, newly minted DM Geoff Z and DMT Jim W popped out to give us a hand. What incredible role modelling by the boys!! Thanks guys. There were lift bags popping all over as we assailed the debris. Today was really tough. Vis was incredibly poor and that is compounded by an abundance of kelp. Not to be deterred the team did a great job. Geoff Z said "diving for debris is much like scallop diving without the lust." A poet he is not but but both dive objectives are rewarding. And you use the same gear.
