So I finally did a successful beach dive (had some equipment problems before). Ran the o2ptima at .7 and manually flew it to around 1.0. Maximum depth was around 13m (42 feet), dive duration was 70 mn.

Saw a bunch lobsters, a massive sea raven, a skate flying by and a YBOD. Also saw a toad crab for the first time. I really love seeing a sea creature I have never met before, makes my dive.

The O2ptima behaved really well and didn't seem sandy at all when I disassembled it. I dove with an AL40, sidemounted to my Nomad, which though unnecessary was a good practice for deeper dives.

Dove the O2ptima with 5 pounds in each pockets which seemed fine. Used 300 PSI of O2 (LP27). Was at Folly Cove, in Gloucester MA, left side.
