Comments Our first dive was less than perfect. We entered the water and grabbed a current line, where we hung on for dear life, waiting for other divers to enter the water. We should have called the dive and moved to another site where the current wasn't running as fast. Once we dropped to the bottom of 40', we navigated thru pinnacles and ledges avoiding the current. 47 minutes later, I was pleased to be back on the boat. The second dive was was at Monks Head. No current, good visibility, 82F down to 47'. 2nd dive was a much better experience. The boat was small and crowded. I would not recommend camera equipment larger than a GoPro.
