All the prep work is done for a weekend of diving and now I just have to sleep like like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Loading up the wagon with a few cylinders for the weekend. Headed to Alpena for the inagrual “Great Lakes Eco Explorer” certification program. We will be the first to complete the certification program focused on Great Lakes scientific data collection. There will be a film crew filming us practice working in our three man dive teams. Pretty excited for this adventure.

For those interested the cylinders are;
6 - 80cu.ft. Aluminum (2 gray, 1 black, 1 white, 1 purple and 1 pink)
2 - 72cu. ft. Steel
2 - 100cu.ft Steels configured as doubles
1 - 40cu.ft. Aluminum

In order to capitalize on favorable weather, a strategic relocation to Venice Beach was necessary. Although our time was limited, we completed one dive prior to returning to Michigan and, while not finding Meg teeth, we did discover a small shark tooth.

Diving is about planning. Life just scrapped my plan C with a biohazard! Plan D goes into action tomorrow but requires 2 1/2 hours of driving and relocating to Venice Florida for Meg teeth. Plan E north to a spring. Plan F Destin Florida. Beyond that I’m outta ideas. Let’s see where life takes us. Today ended with sea food!
