The dive operations on the Nancy Foster have continued to progress... The divers have reported seeing many interesting animals.  The team has observed seven sea turtles, all floating at the surface... I have been able to go out on two different dive boats. I am not able to get in the water, but I have been able to assist from the surface. At the surface I help the divers get in and out of the boat, keep the dive and projects logs, as well as assist with the site markers.
