Labour Day weekend boom and bust

Well, the weekend was a mixed bag for diving. Friday, Mrs. Caveman and the Caveman went to the quarry for some sidemount practice, Saturday, as you can read below, we dove a nice cave with Scubajim and MarcG. But Sunday, delightful as it was, became a non-diving day. The Caveman re-grouted bathroom tiles instead *yuck*.

Monday, Mrs and I went to Lock 21 for a spot of sidemount scootering, which turned out to be fairly decent even though before the dive, the Caveman had a run-in with a very unpleasant individual who was fishing at the usual downstream entry-point. We're slowly getting the hang of this sidemounting stuff, although I suspect we'll be tweaking this and that for just about as long as we'll be diving - but that's part of the DIS (Doing It Sidemount) fun: constant evolution. Mind you, scootering is always a blast and we did a good 70 minutes exploring places in ways mere swimming divers can't.

We found out, upon our return from the Lock, that Scubajim had sweet-talked his way into that shore-diveable cave we wanted to dive on Saturday. Man has a silver tongue. Read about it in his journal.
