Jules made her 100th Dive last weekend, on an eventful day.

We headed out South Shore even though the weather was not good, but it got worse the further we went. The Swells got higher, until we were looking at swells 6ft or more. It seemed like 10ft at the time, but probably wasn’t.

By the time we finally found somewhere we could dive We had large swells, strong surge, OK Visibility, and a couple of large fish (HogFish and Black Grouper). Back on the surface after the dive a new diver panicked and got hit a couple of times on the leg by the boat (which was bouncing a few feet by this point), resulting in a couple of cuts and some stress for the guy. The hang line got caught around the prop, and the anchor line got sheared while there was still a diver out in the water (his own bloody fault for not coming up when he was told to). We then ended up with a DiveMaster in the water without a snorkel or fins…or any good reason to be in the water. Once the Diver and Divemaster were back in the boat, Ondrej was sent back over to find the anchor, but he ran out of air before recovering it.

All in all, it was an eventful morning.
