Aura's Perfect Descent
Earlier in the week Aura sent out a ‘ I’m Having Dive Withdrawals – Someone Go Diving With Me ‘ So a plan was made to check out the new but unfinished small boat harbor. The Dutra Group was here all summer dredging out a small cove near bunker hill, placing rock to form a break water, they installed a small cement launch pad and pile drove a floating pier (or whatever it’s called)
Some Kind of Jelly Thing
The dive plan / profile was simple and fun. We agreed to test our navigation skills by only allowing ourselves to note our heading from the end of the dock to the end of the breakwater before actually getting in the water. Once in the water we could only descend and then head the direction we noted on the dock.
The bottom was mostly all sand, but still pocked with indentations made by the dredge. It looks like a mine field. Visibility was good, water was about 40 degrees and Aura being our chief navigator took us right to our destination. (nice job Aura)
I also took this dive as a chance to test out the underwater housing for my camera. I added a few images to the assorted dive photos gallery
Hmmm…chief navigator….what about chief executive navigator or better yet, chief field navigational commander? Here’s to another great dive!
