Dove with dad in the basin to work on his new LP104 doubles setup. Had a LP hose (backup 2nd stage) break on him and start free flowing, so we turned the dive and headed to Cave Excursions East to replace it.

Notes:
First time carrying an o2 bottle, trying to get ready for class. Had some trouble getting that situated, and running the reel was somewhat more difficult with the increased drag, but not really a problem. Went Mainline Devils (entered/exit via the ear) to around the Hill 400 jump. Clipping and unclipping need some improvement. Glad I attempted to carry one before taking apprentice.

Notes:
First dive with Mike McAuliff. Mike had posted on CDF that he wanted to get some practice in on his rebreather, and I had nothing to do that Monday, so we agreed to meet up early at Dive Outpost and then head to Peacock Springs State Park. Used 700psi penetration gas to get all the way to Olsen, the way Peacock ha such low flow, it’s amazing how far you can get and how long you can stay down on just backgas. I really liked how the cave looks after pothole, it gets much larger, with dome’ed ceilings, and a few swim throughs. As usual, there was basically no flow, and most of the cave was very silty.
