TURTLE COVE

April 15 - Dive No. 26 Max Depth: 63' - Dive Time: 48 min

Log: Amazing dive! Wall dive, entry through vertical cave in coral plateau (maybe 10m down). Beautiful sea fans, bright clams, schools of large fish, a large sea anemone with a mated pair of clownfish in it, a moral eel, and much more. I sucked air like crazy this dive, presumably because I had my camera with me (not used to it). Regulator still leaking -- getting worse.

This was the first dive I took the camera on. I wore 10 lbs of weight, because I had no idea how much lead to wear in warm water. This turned out to be FAR too much, and by the end of the trip I was down to 3 lbs, which may still have been too much.
