May 13, 2006 Orange Grove Sink

We hit the instructor’s house, Mike O’Leary www.cavediving.org and went to the shop to start classes. Review for me was good, jim lucked out in that mike has arranged another student to take class at same time. The guy, Bob, was from NC www.ncdivers.com and told us some great stories about wrecks off the coast. The actual dives were a tease for all involved.

Dive 1 80 feet for 31 minutes. We went in one cavern zone, exited and entered another – the peanut cave and pothole. Being 4th in the team and this dive being introductory I barely even got my fins wet.

Dive 2 after 11 minutes Surface Interval, 37 feet for 31 minutes. It was an open water dive for the students to practice. No mask follow line while sharing air, then with mask. Actually quite entertaining to watch.

After the dive me and jim went to eat, hit the Texas Roadhouse for some ribs. I couldn’t eat them all so took them back to the hotel fridge which to my knowledge they are still there. Then crashed, pretty tired
