I had one of my best days of diving last Saturday. Went with Diver's Discount Supply to platforms Eureka and Ellen on the Great Escape. No sunlight, but conditions were still pretty good. Vis above 100' was a good 50' with near 100' vis at 200'. After my second dive (151', 90 min.) I surfaced to find no boat. I looked around the corner and the only boat I saw was on its way back in about 1/2 mile away. I made it up to the third rung on the ladder of the rig before I finally saw the boat on the opposite side of the rig. Seems someone got swept away and they went to retrieve them. Still, had a great time and can't wait to do it again.
