After the Shark Dive we then did 3 dives on North House Reef due to waves and weather getting a tad rougher.
North House reef was a fun series of shallow dives in the 20 foot range with nice long bottom times.
First dive was 57 minutes, the second 41 minutes, and the third 33 minutes as it was at night, and after seeing all there was to see we headed back to the boat.
There were some nice schools of fish to see.
The water was so clear you could sea the bottom from the deck of the boat, and the boat from the bottom. Made navigation a cinch.
Getting back on with the wave action took a bit more effort than when the water was calm, but it was no problem. It did make it a bit more challenging getting back on the boat for the night dive but no major issues. Watching out for the movement of the ladder became a concern and hitting it feet first was required.
That evening however, the wind really picked up and the boat started seriously a rockin' back and forth. Those that were prone to seasickness were not happy with the rolling motion of the ocean.
The rest of us hung out on the deck, watching the mast dip back and forth, chatting with the captain, and listening to sea shanties through the evening then headed below decks to get rocked to sleep while managing to not get rolled out of our bunks. Still one heckuva great day.
