We drove 2-1/2 hours to Amed to go scuba diving. Our dive boat was an outrigger. We got our gear on in the water. Neat way to start a dive. The coral and fish were good and the water was warm. The first dive was very easy. For the afternoon dive, we went to the other side of the bay, not far from the first dive. By then a current had started and it was easy to float along with it but not to cool to swim into the current. Our guide did not seem to notice. At the end of the dive he had us swimming into the current. Norm was getting tired and was falling behind. The guide was too interested in underwater plant roots to look and see if we were keeping up. Norm got fed up, did his own safety stop and started to surface when the guide finally noticed. Getting into the outrigger was a bit more challenging. Had to strip gear in the water and then climb/launch yourself onto the boat. Luckily the driver helped. The dive was still a good except for the current at the end. We saw a lionfish, rockfish, lobster and lots of brightly colored fish.
