Great vis. As I mentioned in a previous survey (I think) this year there seems to be an abundance of new marine plant life. So far what I am finding is that many many pieces of random nylon string are getting tangled in these plants.

Also there seems to be more fish than usual for this time of year in the area (many schools, and suddenly this year many John Dory fish have inhabited the area. I saw one or two the first year and never again over these 5 years until this year and they are abundant.

I really wish this survey form allowed for spacing of paragraphs in the "additional information" section after submitting the survey.. That information would be much easier to read if I could separate info, but despite spacing paragraphs when typing, once submitted however its all smashed together.

Where have we been? Not in the cold water, that is for sure. Despite Covid, we still have divers braving the green water of NL. But not without some hesitations. Social distancing has had some impact on the way divers socialize at the sites. There has been less enthusiasm to linger at the sites and do extra dives. As the weather turns and the seas get warmer we hope to return to the good old times. During this most recent dive against debris we had a sniff of the good old times. DMT Alain L and course candidates Chelsea B and Jack K opted to do an extra dive and snag some debris. I am not a native Newfoundlander but have lived here for a good while. I am a CFA. A "come from away." And let me tell you, I can complain about the weather with the best of them. Today we experienced three seasons. Had it snowed we would have experienced a whole year of seasons. We started with a milld spring day and a cool breeze. As our day progressed the breeze abated and we enjoyed a warm summer like feeling. That nice weather lingered until we jumped in for our dive agains debris. We left the beach and did a short surface swim in flat calm seas and this it was "game on." The dives against debris feel like an easy scallop dive, the difference is that you cannot eat your bounty harvested during a debris dive. Student divers practically apply their dive planning, buoyancy, u/w nav, and awareness skills during the dives. Simply put, these "real" dives are a lot of fun. The turn was called as divers were getting chilled after a long day beneath the surface. Yesterday at depth the water temp was 1 C. Warmed up to a balmy 4 C today. We surfaced into an autumn storm. The skies were dark, the almost absent breeze had turned and now a strong cold wind was blowing in from the north. Sea swells were almost a metre. Hats off to the students for competing their course successfully and I applaud them for diving against debris.
