Back in the Water!

I cant believe I haven't been diving since August, but it has. So when I had the opportunity to go test regs with Scuba Lab again, I couldn't wait to get back in the neoprene.


For these tests we were extremely lucky and fortunate to be able to use the Body Glove boat the Disappearance. It is a beautiful boat and plenty of room for us get all of our testing done. Bob Meistrell ( one of the co-founders of Body Glove) was our Captain and host for the 2 days. He is an amazing man. 81 years young and still out everyday living life to the fullest and never short of a story to share with you.




The weather was perfect and the topside water conditions could not be better. However the diving conditions were not as good. But it didn't matter. I was just happy to be back in the water.


The water was a refreshing 57 degrees and visibility ranged from 3 feet to maybe 15 feet. With a lot of back scatter in the water. But since the focus was testing on gear, it was good enough for us to get everything done.




I had a few chances to shoot a little but not as much as I usually like to. But seeing 2 Pacific Angel Sharks and a few other critters made it a great day for me.
