Another weekend, another dive. This time at one of our favorite dive spots, Puak\u014d End-of-Road<\/a>. It was just Deb and I this time. The usual crew was out this weekend as well, but we had other goals in mind for the dive and choose to go to a closer site.<\/p>\n

Need to test it deeper, but for a first dive with new gear we kept it easy, around 40′ maximum depth. One issue is the mouthpiece, that simply has to change! I will be taking the mouthpiece off my old reg before the next dive. Need to rearrange the hoses as well, these<\/p>\n

The other pleasant surprise was finding two new species of nudibranch. As Deb and I were diving without the rest of the crew, I was particularly slow. As usual poking my head into every nook and cranny. The result was finding examples of Phyllidiella rosans<\/em> and Phyllidiopsis sphingis<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Going slow and shallow had another effect, almost 80 minutes underwater. Not a record for us, but high on the list of our longer dives. Not bad for a single aluminum 80 cylinder.<\/p>\n

A nice Saturday dive, another hour spent underwater, and some new stuff found. A good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
