Twice the fun...

Two dives today. The first was an attempt to re-locate the STOP sign from the old line to the Stacked Hulls. The intention was to put it at the edge of the second ledge that lies on the path followed by the new line. The only problem was that 100 lbs of lift didn't do the trick. So.... we moved up to the ledge and followed it from the old line to the new one - only about 5 minutes swim along. Then, we moved out along the new line. To our surprise and delight, we discovered that someone has 'jumped' the gap that had appeared last week. After a few minutes work to remove weeds, we headed back for Portsmouth, picking up the old line and following it in.

The second dive of the day was with Cory, a recently qualified diver, who has excellent skills. We parked below Queen's on Collingwood St and entered the water in the bay East of the PUC complex. Despite battling in the shallows with awful weed growth, we enjoyed a good swim around the wreck off the pier and along the breakwater below the far edge of the dock. Lots of fish were present, albeit in viz of only about 20'. The water temp for both dives is dropping away slowly - showing 66℉ (18℃).
