Special Notes: my friend Victor dove with me. It was his first dive and he is extremely comfortable at diving. We swam further out than I have before and we practiced diving to 10 ft depths and chasing fish and collecting shells. The cove was alive with divers... In the parking lot there were duded gearing up for scuba and when we got down the path there was already three skin diver's in the water. Later in the dive two spear fishers came in. Including us, there was 11 divers in the water at one point. When we were done diving we were high. it was great feeling. I am excited about diving with my friend again.
