What’s better way to relax after a 3 tanker in West Palm? How about another dive the next day!
Omar, myself, Jeff and Jeremy met at the Dayo shop at 8:00 a.m. yesterday. We headed off to Paradise Springs for the day. We arrived around 10:30 a.m. and there were only 2 other dives there. We ended up having the entire place to ourselves as no other divers showed up and they other two guys left soon after us arriving. They didn’t silt it up either!
Omar and Jeremy had never been there and were very excited to check it out. Our first dive was about 50 minutes. We dropped all the way down to the grim reaper sign and circled around the area. We spent most of the dive in the shallower portion around 50-60 feet.
I was using my side mount setup and trying to get more comfortable in it. I still need a lot of practice in it, my buoyancy is far from perfect in it still. I practiced running the line a bit as well. The guys told me I didn’t silt the place up while doing it so that was a good sign!
During our surface interval I inflated my drysuit almost completely and used my nomad fully inflated as a pillow and floated on the surface. I almost fell asleep it was so peaceful!
The second dive went just as great. Temps were the standard 74 degrees. I would like to congratulate both Omar and Jeremy as they did not silt the place up at all the entire day. We were very impressed with everyone’s diving that day.
Another great day of fun safe diving. Can’t wait to do it again!
