First full day Sea Base 13 June

Reveille 6:30 am, getting ready to attend Scouts Own Service.  Entire team attended with a real Chaplin in attendance. We met at the scuba area for scuba checks in shallow pool then on to the deep pool.  All checks completed by all, the one disappointing thing was that Matt M and Moe's regulator would not work with this BCD.  We all conducted a seawater buoyancy check to ensure all have proper weight.  Assembled all scuba gear and placed it on our dive boat, Sea Base Adventurer.  Time for lunch and to be back to the boat at 1 pm for boat checkout and intros.  Three dive crews will be on third dive boat, one is Troop 61 from Austin.  The dive site we are going to will be a  dive master led dive and it will be at Alligator Lighthouse.  This was first snorkel spot in Atlantic when we attended Eco Adventure.  It was about an hour boat ride.  First dive had some issues with weights, hopefully this will be resolved tomorrow.  Upon return to base we wash all equipment and broke for the day.  This evening there will be an evening dive class just not sure what yet.  Here are photos from today.
