Mark and I dove together for the first time in over 7 months. It was great. We managed to stay together on both dives, very different from the past when we would get separated all the time. Also, my friend Kurt came diving with us. This was our first time diving with him since our underwater wedding a few years ago. Also, it was his first dive in 14 months. Hopefully, we can all go diving more often.
I also got to try out our underwater camera in cold water for the first time. I have been afraid to use it, because diving is so much more challenging in California, and I didn't want too much task-loading. But since the ocean swell was down, and since I have been diving a lot lately, I gave it a try.
I don't know if I was narc'd, or what, but I could not figure out how to use the camera. At one point, I was in video mode. At another point, I turned the LCD display off. My strategy? Press enough buttons until I could get out of either mode. Better luck next time. For more pictures, check out this photo gallery.
