Diving Update

Went diving on the Bianca C today, this time on nitrox. It was refreshing to see double digit no-decompression limits, as opposed to last time, where according to my computer download of my dive computer, I was within 10-20 seconds of NDL. (Not to worry, my dive computer is a little conservative, so if I had been using my old computer, I would have gotten more time. Anyways, I survived)
For those of you interested, the Bianca C is a several hundred foot cruise ship in 90-130+ feet of water that sank a few decades ago. (Nothing like specifics there)
Anyways, it was better the second time I did it, but I don't think I'll need to do it again. (That is unless I do my wreck diver speciality and learn penetration diving. But they don't penetrate Bianca, as she is rather old, and rather unstable.) Anyways, the second dive was Shark Reef, off Glover Island. As the name suggests, it is a breeding ground for young nurse sharks. This time we saw three (last visit garnered too many to count), as well as a couple of moray eels (including one that had a diameter of at least 10-12 inches), some large lobsters and crabs. Unfortunately, Grenada Fish and Game rules prohibit taking lobsters/crabs with scuba gear.
Something about an unfair advantage.
As previously mentioned, the rest of the day will be studying. Repeat x1 tomorrow.
