Jan 11 – Double dive day

We started the day at 8:00 am by meeting with Phil and Brian to go on a dive at Karpata. This was a nice dive and lasted almost an hour. I think our dives are starting to last closer to the hour, rather than the 45 minute mark. After lunch we went for another dive at Yellow Submarine. I wanted to try a dive with 2 pounds less weight to see if my buoyancy control would be better underwater. It was perfect. I think this was the first dive I truly enjoyed; I had tightened my mask, so I had no leaks, and I had excellent buoyancy control. At the end of the dive Trudy found the largest Porcupine fish (or puffer) that we have ever seen. According to one of the fish identification books we have, they typically grow to a maximum of 3ft, and I think this guy was that or more. For the complete set of vacation photos follow this link.
