Notes

First open water dive for my PADI Drysuit course. At McAbee. Visibility was, without exageration, under 5’.

So stoked to finally be in a drysuit (although ironic today was the warmest day in Monterey I’ve dived this year). Our instructor tried to take us out to the pinnacle that sits offshore at about a 32 degree heading. Kicked insanely fast, hence the high SCR.

Had to don and doff my BP/W at the surface, as well as disconnect and reconnect the drysuit inflator hose.

Called dive short given such poor visibility.
