Last dive @ Atlas Park. We had to conclude the day by doing all of our rescue training. This training involved panicked/tired diver- on the surface and in the water. It also included: an over exhaustion diver in the water, and an unconscious one on the surface and in the water. It is ironic that I almost had to be rescued on this dive. The strap that connected my reg to my mouth piece broke. I couldn't understand what was going on, so I decided to head up to the surface. I should have taken my octopus, but I couldn't figure out why my reg wasn't working- since I still had the mouth piece in my mouth. Anyway, lesson learned. Use the octopus.

Diving from the center of the quarry. I didn't have a mask on, and thought that I could handle the cold. After the first thermocline, I decided to continue with the group. Once we hit 75 feet, you could actually see the second thermocline. As soon as I went under the second thermocline, the cold hit me like a punch in the face. I immediately added some air into my BC and headed for the surface. I followed the group to the wreck, by watching the bubbles on the surface. I then descended at the wreck to meet up with the group. We then had some fun with air bags; lifting the wreck, and some trash on the platform.
