May 15, 2006 Slaw Dog to go

Dive 1 67 feet, 34 minutes 200 feet penetration. Today followed the class (Jim & Bob). They practiced Lost diver in the pothole tunnel. Jim clouded things up nicely, i just practiced bouyancy and watched.

Dive 2 40 feet, 42 minutes 500 feet penetration. 12 minute surface interval. We went up the peanut tunnel to the breakdown room. At that point i turned while jim and bob did light failure and air share exit. It is always a bit nerve wracking being solo while cave diving but i quickly returned to the cavern zone. Enroute i found my 1st backup light was very weak, either low batteries or it's pencil beam. I hung out at the edge of the cavern zone covering my light while i watched their lights bouncing on their return.

There next dive was the "final" test at Cow spring after lunch. I chose to pass on tailing that dive and instead got a 6 pack of heineken, a slaw dog and a bacon egg cheese roll. Jim was disgusted as usual. Their dives went fine. We hit ruby tuesdays again, where i wanted a french dip which they did not have. At night we got the movie Munich, which i slept through, AND the tv would not go above 15 so you couldnt here s**t anyway. And it was too small to read the subtitles. The next day we drove back to the airport, stopped at st augustine for a minute. Jim complained about my driving the whole way.
