Another Disappointment

Gulf Diving Rebreather

Well, I should be talking about the fantastic dive we had and how incredible the brine lake looked just off the Flower Gardens, but instead, I am relaxing in air-conditioned comfort at home updating my blog.

 

It seems the weather god has decided that we do not need to see this unusual sight right now. The waves while not excessive, 3 feet, are such that getting a technical diver in full equipment back on the boat might be difficult. Remember that here in the Gulf, the period of the waves is short making them more akin to a high chop rather than a large roller. When the seas get up, boarding the boats becomes more challenging.So, after discussing it with Captain Frank, we decided that discretion was the better part of valor and called the trip.

However, the good news is the Spree has some openings in October so we can reschedule to trip and try again. Of course, we have to convince everyone else to roll to the next time frame.
