Notes
Like the first dive, we entered the water at the boat ramp. We surface-swam out to the east before descending, then continued east underwater to meet the wall before following it along to the right. Along the way we saw more lionfish, angelfish, a green turtle, number of pipefish and a goby with its shrimp partner. Around the 30-minute mark we turned the dive around, and somewhere near this point my second-stage regulator started leaking air. It started out as an annoying trickle and got worse as the dive continued, with the air flowing fairly fast by the safety stop, but not enough to call the dive off or pose a huge safety concern. The first stage was checked and found to be putting out too high a pressure while in Malaysia. The pressure output was adjusted, but it seems like it's causing problems again around 60 dives later. I think rather than an overhaul, I am just going to buy new first and second stages to replace my current set. Oceanic discontinued the Aeris brand, and it was never that good a product to begin with.
