As it turns out this was to be my last dive with one of my good friends, and longest standing dive buddies before his long hiatus from the mainland. Mr. Dane Carson's moving on to bluer oceans. Hawaii bound on a quest for scholastic achievement (UofH), and maybe a tan. Poseidon knows he could use one!
Dane, Dan, and I decided tonight would be a good night for a deep dive on Lobster Shop Wall. We'd planned this out earlier in the day and all agreed to a dive profile giving us plenty of time to inspect a good portion of the wall. And that we did! Along the way encountering the lone stubby squid, a playful red octo that couldn't get enough of my camera, and a handful of spotted ratfish.
Our stay in the shallows provided Dane with the opportune moment to turn the camera on himself and catch a narcissist's snapshot, or two - of himself... which I always find amusing. We'll get Dane in an U/W Photography course soon! ;)Here's to you, Dane! I wish you the very best in all things to come. We'll miss you here on the mainland, but expect to hear great things in the years to come. As always, you're a knock away from a place to stay.
Aloha, good buddy!
