Took My Breath Away...

Today is my last full day of diving.  

On the first dive I had a moment where I was concentrating on an itty bitty slug and trying to get the shot when I realized I had forgotten to breathe.  OMG.  And then I freaked out a little… and took a few deep breaths but wow, it was a weird moment.

I found a HUGE frogfish by myself and took a selfie but it was a horrible shot.  I forget that with the Go Pro I have to hold my hand still for a long time after.

On the night dive we had a HUGE temperature swing from 82 degrees down to 73 degrees.  COLD!  And right after we came back up to the warm water, my camera started fogging.  It was right when we got to an algae patch and I was like huh, my photos seem to be all smudgy like the algae.  What is going on?  Then I looked at the lens and it was all fogged up.  Damn.  I have used moisture munchers in the past but I haven’t had this issue all month… and it has been years since I’ve had it.  Then after the dive when I opened up the housing, it seems there was more water in the housing than just condensation, but the water detector never went red.  Gah. This makes me really nervous for taking it down again.  I tried to dab away and moisture I saw and left it open overnight to see if it will completely dry out.  I’m also going to throw a couple of moisture munchers in there.
