Tourist in DC- Diving Pumpkin Dive at Millbrook.






On Saturday Corrine and I went to DC to check out some museums and play tourist. We started at the Natural History Museum, saw the Darwin exhibit, and the ocean exhibit. They were both great.Then we went to the Native American museum. This was my first time to this museum. We didn't get to see the entire museum, just too big. But, we will be back. We parked at Shady Grove metro, and took the subway in from there. On the way back it rained quite hard, and we got quite wet!!

Well, we had a great day at Millbrook. We saw a lot of friends we hadn't seen in a while. Did some diving, and had a burger with the group. We did 2 dives, Corrine, Jeremy,Larry, and I. Then I did one solo dive. Vis wasn't as good as last week, but still 30' plus in most places. Good Friends, Good diving. A great day!!

A Brisk weekend at Millbrook!







Saturday I went down by myself,and did a couple of solo dives. Vis is incredible now, 25'. I love my new shearwater dive computer!! It rained all day, so there weren't many people out. Corrine and I went back down today, no rain, but wind. Dave and the Blue Marble Gang were down for a DM checkout. Quite a shock for Dave, yesterday he was diving in the Virgin islands. We did two dives, 1 deep, and 1 shallow to the cove cruiser. We saw some things today that we haven't seen in a long time!!

DC diveshow&Demo day at Millbrook

This past weekend was a good dive weekend for our area. We had the dive show on saturday, and demo days at Millbrook on sunday. The show was small, but very enjoyable. We met some old friends and some new friends, and did a lot of story telling. Saw a lot of interesting dive destinations, hopefully we will get to some of them one day! Saw a great inflatible, a Patten inflatable, that I would love to have. Only $24000.00, but a six pack cat that will do 30 knots!! Sunday Corrine and I tried the dive rite nomad side mount system. We loved it,easy trim, less drag, easy to get to the water, and very stable in the water. We tried ocean reefs full face mask with comm. It was cool, it keeps your face warm, and is very comfortable.
