Diving with Small Hope Bay Lodge

Mike said that there was room on their boat for Thursday so we got Johnnie to give us a ride over there in his taxi. He agreed to pick us up 12:30 after diving.

Moose, the dive master, met has at the dock and checked out Bill and Mike's c-cards. He asked Bill about his experience and since he did his check out dives in 50 degree water and we dove The Marion the day before he was cleared to do the deep dive with us, which was planned for 90' on the outer wall. We got our gear on the boat and talked with the new assistant dive master, Brittany, she was very nice and nice eye candy.

The dive was very nice. As soon as we got on the wall in 90' of water Bill had to stop me and point out the Hawksbill turtle just hanging out. He did run away as we snapped pictures of him. We went out along the wall until Bill had under 2000 PSI and then turned back. The we hung out at around 65' near the anchor line. As I was poking around I found a nice swim through that completed the dive.

The second dive was your garden variety shallow dive. Bill and Mike got to experience a never ending sea of coral and how hard it is to find the boat when it's like that....
