Regulator Down

There was lots of current on the morning dives.  At one point I had to kick really hard to get under the overhang.  I did find some interesting slugs though.  On the second dive, I found this white thing that might have been a white Sagaminopteron but it turned out to be just schmutz.  But there was something crawling around on top of it!  At first I thought it was a nudi but Timo looked at it with me and we think it is some sort of crustacean.




After lunch I showed Sam pictures of all the nudis found so far.  She wants the Nudis 101 presentation at some point.

On the evening dive, my regulator stopped working properly.  It has a bit of a positive flow.  Which made me run out of air ten minutes sooner than usual. 

Uri is going to have a look at it for me and probably replace it with one of theirs for the duration of the trip.  It’s time to buy a new one.

We traded stories at dinner.  I asked what someone might not know about you.  My example was that I used to play sousaphone in college.  And I was terrible at it.  Max’s was that he left home at 17 for Greece.  He worked a bartender job and led the party lifestyle there.  I could totally see that.

Here are my slugs for today:

158 - Chromodoris dianae


159 - Chromodoris lochi


160 - "Taringa" halgerda


161 - Tritonia sp. 9


162 - Melibe sp. 1


163 - Facelinid sp.
