I look at every dive as an opportunity to learn something new and to work on a basic skill. We all stayed fairly shallow and I atleast didn't get too concerned about anything. Worse case would be we would surface to find each other and that was the case.

All in all a great day. Good diving, good people, and had the opportunity to see some history.

Yeah, you're right. Nothing "alarming" happened, so it was a good dive, and getting on board the Zeb was way cool! I had a lot of fun, but I do tend to critique my dives a lot. My wife hates that about me. I guess what really hit home with me was today on the boat. I didn't know the exact depth of that third buoy until I took the sonar over it. Then, all that went through my mind was wow! Me, with a total of 18 dives under my belt, at 58ft in ZERO vis, ALONE, with unfamiliar AND inoperative equipment, and in floodwaters! Maybe that's a little over dramatized, but damn, if I'd got tangled up in something down there, it could of been my body they were dragging out this morning. Yes sir I learned a lot from this dive!
