Project Day 8: 6 March 2011
Unfortunately, today's rebreather dive had to cancelled due to technical issues, so there is not much to report today. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and while we in the boat, we had many whales come by to check us out, and some just hung out underneath the boat. Too bad we weren't able to get in the water with them -- but dive boat crew member David Ames was able to hold Holly Bolick's small waterproof camera off the stern of the bpat to get some cool videos.
