Girls Gone Diving did the Yukon and the Ruby E today. With all of the high surf and wind we were positive we could be blown out. In fact we were so positive we probably called so many times that they were sick of us. They assured us they had been out and it was fine and the forecast was for more of the same for today, and they were right. We didn't believe it until we saw it for ourselves. The ocean was so calm that for the first time on the Marissa that I could do both dives beause I didn't get seasick.
Connie, Sylvia, myself, Don, Phil, Joby, Chad, and Alex dove. The Northrop Grumman Dive Club plus family and friends.
The anemones on the Yukon and the Ruby E are beautiful and amazing. The white ones are huge and look like brocolli. The wrecks actually remind me of a Rose Bowl Float with all of the different colors of anemones. They completly cover the wrecks. The fact that the visibility was 20 ft today sure helped make it a good dive. It was cold though, 52 degrees. Connie stayed warm with her new chemical heat packs. They worked really well and the next time I am cold between dives I will use her extra set.
All in all a great weekend. We started it with a square dance with Magic Squares. Dave and Carl called a great dance. Then Connie and I stayed with Carl and Donna (thanks for everything guys) so we could do this dive. They have awesome animals, Loriketts, and Coy fish. I'd heard about them, but they are better in person It was great since the dive started at 1:00 and we didn't have to up at the crack of dawn. Tough life, but someone has to do it.
