A marble headstone |

Lloyd and I both use Phoenix computers, by Orca, and discovered
significant differences in NDL limits between the two. When I reached 10
minutes, his said he had 24 left. This seemed odd since our profiles didn't
vary more than a few feet, with him being a little deaper. But, his computer is
a few years older, and may have different algorithms, so we just used my
numbers. I had a little extra insurance by my use of Nitrox 30-32% in each
bottle, while diving an air profile. We completed three dives by early
afternoon with the aid of the computers, and decided to head to
Stetson
Banks to get a start back toward home. The banks have their own
uniqueness, so we figured we would use our three remaining tanks there. While
looking at the scenery, I discovered a marble headstone that had been placed
there long enough ago to be nearly covered by coral. Apparently, someone
thought enough of the Flower Gardens that he/she wanted to be remembered there.
The Flower Gardens are that pretty, and should be worthy of that kind of
admiration. |
