• Paradise Springs Dive 3
    After a nice lunch at the site, still all to ourselves, we swapped tanks and did a final dive for the day. The plan was to drop down to the hole in the wall at around 80 feet and have a poke around to see...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 2
    This was a short dive to burn the last of the tanks we had. We both decided that we wanted to explore the shallow side of the debris cone and see what fossils we could see. I decided to take the camera back down in...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 1
    We arrived a little later then I wanted to and I expect the place to be a buzz with people. It turns out it was empty. There was no one there! This dive was a test dive for my new camera rig and my new...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 3
    This was a buoancy practice dive with Eesa and to burn down the tanks a bit. We did the rock passing practice and Eesa nailed it (of course). Her buoyancy is mos def better than mine at this point. I’m so extremely proud of how...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 2
    Eesa and I dropped down to work on finning techniques and just swim around a bit. Other divers had shown up and started messing up the visability a little and Eesa wanted to practice her frog kick and modified flutter. (We’ll get her into the...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 1
    Eesa and I went back to Pardise Springs to see it without the mess of students. We were the first in for the day and went to the cave entrance at 95ft. It was really nice and visability was great! The area at the “bottom”...
  • Blue Grotto Eesa Drysuit Checkout 2
    This was a fun celebration dive for Eesa’s awesome drysuit checkout. Tracy took us on a tour around the grotto. We even went behind the reaper sign. We also saw Turbo! The elusive turtle!
  • Blue Grotto Eesa Drysuit Checkout 1
    Eesa’s drysuit checkout dive number 1. I was along to observe, but at one point I was used to demo a flooded drysuit recovery. Basically Eesa rode me like a dolphin. Lisa rocked at her buoyancy on this dive and she was able to hold...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 2
    The instructor required Eesa to swap tanks because her pressure was too low. She had the same amount of air by volume as everyone else, because we dive LP85’s, but I don’t think he understood how low pressure tanks work… I ran up and grabbed...
  • Paradise Springs Dive 1
    First time to Paradise Springs. The drive is a bit sketchy and I wasn’t planning on diving because it was Eesa’s deep checkouts. I’m glad I brought my gear though because there was room for me to dive along. The first dive was a rave!...
