Dive Trip

The latest indication it may be time to retire...I pulled out my PADI Open Water Diver card, issued in July 1979, as proof I didn't always have grey hair...in response, our Operations NCO quickly pointed out he wasn't even born until 1985!

 

We boarded the Boreas, a 115 foot vessel, for an hour cruise to dive sites around Moucha Island in the Gulf of Tadjoura.  The day consisted of two dives, the first was a wreck dive where we descended to 60 feet (referred to as Rafael, but found online as Orchard Reefer), followed by the Sunken Bouy, a reef dive during the afternoon.

The visibility was over 50 feet, which allowed us to view a variety of fish and even a small shark...our instructor took this group photo while we sat on the ship wreck.

So far on the deployment...3 unit members & 1 mechanic SCUBA qualified
