Scallop diving. Started with skin diving first (no current then), saw a remora. Found many scallops on sand, only one on grass. Cut protection needed on legs because of grasses and coral (did a little bottom crawling because of the current and extreme shallow water). Water was a touch uncomfortably warm. STA is probably making my tank bolts loosen. Constant swim against the current. Did weight check for buddies at beginning of dive and I think I underweighted them for their inexperience (probably lots of fast breathing and exertion to swim against current). It was better to over weight them so I gave each person 6 each which still probably wasn’t enough. My weight was fine to slightly heavy. - Salt - Boat - medium current
