I had no calculated my bottom time , and I didn’t care , all I wanted to do was get narked , and de stressed from the day , that was my goal .. bass man was my dive partner , but if he had an issue at depth , he would would have to use his spare air, and there wouldnt be any bail out for us both , that meant him not really having a spare air , as its a classic nwdc joke id better watch sumthn, but I don’t know what that would be ? Down .. Down I go … 50 feet.. 65 feet .. past the tires .. 70 feet .. I kicking like a mad man into the blackness , I hit 88 feet and the nark starts to happen.. Yes… Yes bring it on … at 105 feet , it feels like thick syrup flowing into my lungs .. AHHHHHH narked out of my brain .. and Im on air .. cause its good to 180 feet , or so ive been told , but I wouldn’t know cause I haven’t taken any training for this deep stuff .. Im just a diver who loves to dive , so now im at 117 feet … and its fun .. and its dark … and im looking for bottles .. OH theres one.. !!! its square and different from the rest , looks like an Ink well or sumthng? .. next thing I know because all of us are there its getting silty.. and Man its getting silty … but you know what I enjoy being silted out , its good training , not knowing where anyone is .. How can I say that ? Because Im confident in my diving abilities , so I just kicked south and found my way out of the silt cloud… where is Keith ? don’t know ? im looking for bottle , he will find me , But if he doesn’t ? I can always solo dive .. cause that’s how it goes sometimes as a diver in the PNW .. amd Im fine with it … so im enjoying my Nark and its nice .. ive now got tunnel vision and ive reached 15 mins of Deco .. So me and keith decide its time to head up , as we head up we found some huge Giant round metal thing , that was really cool and Metal .. found some ratfish , and I managed to open flutter kick in my awesome Sling shot fins that have turbo power when needed…. I saw some nudi,s .. sailfin sculpin… bullheads.. funky white spiny schrimp thing.. between the 2 dive I found 6 lumpies… 3 small red octo’s and the grand prize was me filming a stubby squid.. I also filmed the thing Jan has been finding on the fingers..
So I learned that I can dive … I love to dive … I can frog kick if need be , or I can silt the place out .. cause im fine with that … I can dive deep , on air … and Im fine with that … I enjoy all aspect of diving , New divers , or old divers… and Im fine with that … But what I enjoy the most is good company , good diving , and good friends…. And Im fine with that
Lol, this post is like a gift from Jesus is what it is...
