Bonaire Tech Diving

This was a second dive launching from the house reef at Captain Don's habitat. The first went to ~400 feet in depth, but on this second dive the deeper section beyond that point turned into a very gradual slope. For anyone interested in visiting this area, I suggest something more than a base layer for thermal protection and an alternate means to access/exit the deeper sections of the strait.

Dive time: 424 minutes
Max depth: 503 feet
Water temp: 82-64 F

LaJolla Submarine Canyon

The entry point for the dive was west of Lajolla Shores and north of the cove. The slope at this location averages 45 degrees. The pause in the descent at ~290 feet was due to warnings on my dive computer and needing to use the menu to check some values. The end location is where the wider canyon converges into one narrow branch which eventually meets up with the Scripps branch, but the bottom had a normal sandy bottom similar to other shallower locations in LaJolla.

Dive time: 149 minutes
Max depth: 517 feet
Water temp: 48-71 F

Tunacrab Invasion

This dive was done to gather information for a future dive closer to where the submarine canyon narrows but ran into a few more Tunacrabs than expected.

Dive time: 276 minutes
Max depth: 429 feet
Water temp: 59 F

Sabak Ha - Installing line

Installing a line on the south side of Sabak Ha. It connects to the ground at 385 feet and terminates at 435.   At the end of the line, another line was encountered along the wall descending north.

Dive time: 174 minutes
Max depth: 435 feet
Water temp: 81 F

Sabak Ha Cenote

Visibility underneath the hydrogen sulfide layer seemed poor compared to the water column above.  DPV segment covers travel back to a reel connected to an open water tie off.

Dive time: 178 minutes
Max depth: 509 feet
Water temp: 82 F

Revisiting the Wakulla Room

In the last room near the end, there is another line to the left running almost parallel to the line leading into the chamber, but it terminates near the back wall.  A better video of the dive composed by Jan can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP_KJsRI6uY.

Dive time: 194 minutes
Max depth: 374 feet
