Diving After DRM

Even though our Diving Research Methods course has come to an end, many of us are putting our AAUS certification to good use and are continuing to do more "scientific dives". A lot of us have been going on dives outside the class just to simply be in the water, and some of us have been using our dive time to collect algae for either our herbariums or botany project experiments. Yesterday, a few of us went on an afternoon dive to Canoe Beach and it was possibly one of the best dives we've ever been on since the start of our program. The seas were calm and according to my dive computer, the air temperature was a unusually comfortable 72 degrees. The water, however, wasn't quite as warm but was still bearable nonetheless. The visibility was extremely good, which made our diving objective (testing out camera/video skills) quite enjoyable. As you will be able to tell, my video skills need a fair amount of work...
