Second time out-dive 7 & 8

It was a cloudy day, but still clear down below. As I brought dog food again this time I used an orange juice bottle. It didnt leak like the pill bottle that I used last time.
so the food stayed dry until needed.

I could squeeze the bottle and the fish loved it. It came out fast or slow as I needed it, even the bass came in for a closer look.

air temp-90
surface temp-80
bottom temp-74
depth-25'+10'alt =35'
total time 45 min.

On this dive I went a few feet deeper, but there was more activity at 20 feet. 

It is getting easier now to stay hovering instead of floundering like a sick fish. I am able to control my breathing better also.

It is getting darker as the storm comes up but viz is still fairly clear. I can see this will be my therapy from the rest of the world. I sat on the bottom and was mesmerized by the fish. It seemed that life was so...simple. I cleared all my thoughts from my everyday life and the business that I owned. It was nice.

Last time I filled my tank, I decided to get a small dive knife in case I got entangled with fishing line or something. It is a small knife without a point. I didn't want a point because I figure it would just be a hazard only to myself. It came with a small hard plastic sheath that I was able to attach to my upper BCD.
I remember to give it a quick rinse when I rinse all my other gear after each dive also.

I used a plastic bag (it was pink) for an anchor. Last dive, I tied my dive flag to some boulder on the bottom, but it didnt hold very well. So I brought a sack that came from a department store. I had a 30 foot rope tied to the flag and a snap on the end to clip on the bag. Then I filled the bag up with heavy rocks on the bottom. Now I dont need to find something to tie to. Nor do I have to carry a boat anchor with me. I will try to find a sturdier sack (not pink) for the next dive.
