OK, so I gotta brag just a bit!

I went diving out of Gulf Shores on Sunday - there were 5 divers signed up. We had 3-5' seas that day. Midway to the 1st site, the captain decided to ditch that one as there was another site that would make for a bit smoother ride. We got there, however the DM reported that viz was less than 2', so we headed for a 3rd site - good vis, however on the decent, we discovered the boat had broken loose from where the DM had tied in, so we had to return while the DM re secured the boat. By this time, 3 out of the 5 divers had succumbed to seasickness and decided not to dive, leaving just me, my buddy and the DM. We headed back down and had a GORGEOUS 85' dive - my 10th, dive, and deepest to date! I felt bad for the 3 who couldn't make it, but at the same time, I was proud that I, the new diver and with a "disability", was able to do it!
