Governor's row has a new wreck on it. I just think it's a bit looney that they think we can do all 4 wrecks on 1 dive. Heck, I could spend a whole dive on EACH.

Larry had to unKit to get his NITROX reading on his $21 fill and I think it might have razzed him a bit. We went down and we promply got separated. Larry went down and Gus headed for the wheel house and I spent the rest of that wreck trying to find them! Everybody else had left the wreck for the next one and I could easily keep track of Gus's bubbles coming up from the wheel house and we finally found Larry. The VIZ was down a bit, not sure why, but you could barely see the next wreck as we headed over.

Only had a few minutes there before we were alone again so we decided to head over to the third wreck to keep up with the rest of the folks on the boat. I understood that we were supposed to follow the anchor chain to the anchor in the sand where you would be able to see the anchor to the next wreck and go from there. Well we're cruising along and Gus is blasting his SubDuck to beat the band. I can't see him what with the VIZ being down and such, but sure enough finally found him and thank goodness; I think Gus has a magnet in his head or something. He sure is good at navigation and sure enough we were going off in the wrong direction and he had his eyes on the next wreck!

As soon as we got there Larry called the dive. Turns out he was having a bad time with a headAche and wasn't feeling to good. No Problem; that's what buddying means... any diver can call any dive at any time for any reason. It was especially OK, since the dive seemed so rush in the first place.

 

WHAT WE LEARNED: Not sure why, but my camera wouldn't take a picture?! Had found a nice sptted moray on the deck, but couldn't take a picture of it!
