Yea, too bad Ginnie does not offer a student pass for 2-4 days of certification diving. Even for weekdays would be nice, and probably increase their $. My two girls are both getting certified OW this week. They did one day at Ginnie, and were at Troy yesterday. I think they were going to OG today. I hope they get better than murky 15' vis there.

Yeah, it was just low and green. Filtered through a layer of duckweed and a second layer of silty water. It wasn't like it was a dirt dive. If I was a brand new open water diver it might be a little disappointing though.

There was a large group from Texas A&M there doing cavern drills so that probably helped stir up the silt a tiny bit, but honestly they looked pretty good. They were very polite too. On the way out of the Olsen line, when I popped up out of the crack they scattered to get out of my way. You could tell the instructor had clued them in about exiting divers having the right of way. Kudos to him. Their line work looked pretty darn good too.

Yep, they have a great instructor

We will probably take a peek since they will need gas fills any way.
