A much better day, weather wise,  dive wise, and otherwise.  We departed Brielle at 7:00am
to a nice sunny morning and pretty flat seas.  The trip takes just about 1hour, and we had
splashed before 9:00am, having let others go ahead of us.

We were anchored just near the boilers which are still visible. Vis was about 25ft vertical, and
20-30ft horizontal at the bottom. Still a little cold (about 48-50°F) but not as deep (90fsw), so
I could stay down a bit longer. We got all the way from the boilers to the stern and around.
We did a 36 minute run time on dive #1, returning to the anchor line when I had 18 minutes
of NDL remaining (after 25 minutes bottom time). I stayed a little conservative this time to see
if the computer would give me more time on the 2nd dive (in pre dive planning, the Pro Plus 2
gave me 32 min of NDL at 90fsw on EaN29%).

After about a 1.5hr SI, we splashed again. The computer was then giving me 26 min of NDL with
similar parameters as above. This time, we headed towards the bow. There are a few points
along the way were one could shine a light in and look for things, fish, bugs, scallops etc., but none
were to be found. Only a few bugs and one had to be thrown back as it was too small, by only 1/4
inch.  I didn't see anything penetratable, but perhaps there were places to do it. But this time I ran
the computer down to 12 minutes of NDL before we returned. Run time 31 minutes on this dive.
Both safety stops were uneventful.  And one could not have asked for a better day... very calm
seas, and the like..

And yes, we had no bananas! :-)  And no fishing rods....   Just a good time.

It's back to the Resor again for round II in another two weeks.......... I'll try to improve on my
bottom time and navigate the wreck a little better.
