Started out last night at the marina 4:30 p.m. loaded my boat with 9 tanks 3 divers. Off we went 2 1/2 miles out as the sunset beyond the horizon. We anchored in 120 ft. of water, suited up, dropped down the anchor line. Immediately we came upon some bugs at 125 ft. Within 5 mins. I had 5 big bugs bagged, although my two buddies didnt do as well. I was the dive leader. As the dive went on my buddies bagged 3 & 1 after 25 mins. It was time to surface, vis. was about 15 ft. Total B.T. was 32 mins. with a 5 min safety stop . (Excellent Dive)
