watermonkee and Reefhound done for September at Blue Lagoon #2. Viz was about 2-5', still warm enough for no suit though a slight chill in a few deep pockets. Surface swam out to buoy, dropped and followed the lines, ascended on a buoy and surface swam back to shore.

October done for Reefhound and watermonkee at Flower Gardens and Stetson. It looked like I was going to miss FG for first time in 17 years then Dennis posted a crew and family only trip. We had 25 people, about half crew and we all pitched in and took turns. Pretty much the same setup and pattern. I was DM dive one and helped on a few others, filled tanks after dive 1 and 2. Marci and I did an early night dive by ourselves to set the lights. Rest of time I got to play passenger. Water still warm enough for no suit. No spectacular sightings, just abundant fish and coral.

sorry for the late entry for October, I was traveling and zero internet connection. so had to head to AZ for work. so I hooked up with a friend of mine and hit vista point at lake Pleasent. as I am not a fan of colder water, this one was a one and done. did have to math and figure out my flight schedule since this was considered and altitude dive. So Oct in the books. trying to plan my last 2 months since I won't be able to dive for 3 months after December.

December done and 2024 complete for watermonkee and Reefhound. Another couple of dives in Cozumel on day 34. Nothing spectacular today just good relaxing dives before a norte closes the port tomorrow so this wraps up the diving on this trip. We'll be back later this week and looking forward to the CHUM party.
