narced & nearly bent
another awesome weekend on Big Cat Reality =D much better surface conditions this trip, so we werent stuck on Flinders all wkend. Gotham City! one of my fave dive sites, seriously. viz the worst i've seen at moreton bay - about 8-10m most of the trip, with a low of 2m at Curtin Artificial Reef & about 3-5 at the Pines. best viz of the wkend was the 2nd dive at Gotham City - 10-12m. fantastic diving with the boys - we all got a bit narced at gotham and someone kept shouting thru their regs. v funny to watch the boys climbing the pinnacles and pretending to hoist anchors. hit several thermoclines at gotham, being a deep dive. temp dropped to 21deg at one point, & i kept moving up & down to feel the temp diff - u cld actually see the shimmering edge of the themocline, pretty cool besides getting narced, i also nearly got bent. went into deco on several dives, 2 of them at gotham. 36m for 20+ minutes bottom time (not including ascent), dint do proper deco stops along the way. my comp was sending all sorts of alarms at me and finally decided to go into error mode on the second dive at gotham. not sure what tt means, since it was still working on the next dive, so i just ignored it. the others' comps were also flashing warnings but we wldn't miss the jock dive for the world so we all turned a blind eye. so we all went for the last dive without our wetties. fortunately it was a shallow drift dive & the water was a toasty 26 degs. lots of stingrays (fortunately none of them pulled a Steve on me, if not i wldnt be here writing this) & a huge bullray, as well as a wobbegong under a rock. |
