Anticosti Island Day 3: 39º F Water Temperature, Brrrrr!
Another day on the water today! This time it is just Julie, Michel, and I. We got the boat prepped and collected the gear that was drying overnight. Today we are exploring the South East side diving since the water is pretty flat and it wouldn’t be a great day to explore land. On the way out, Michel showed me how to drive the boat in small waves.
We got to our first site and suited up. We will be doing dive sites they have never done today. We dropped down deeper than the day before, and saw more jellyfish, crabs, and a ton of starfish. After 30 minutes, we surfaced so we wouldn’t get too cold. The sun would not come out during our surface interval though, so it was a little chilly on the boat too. 
Our second dive felt much colder to me. I am not sure if this is because I was going into it chilly, or if it also felt colder for Julie. According to Julies die computer, it was 39 degrees. BRRRR! It was worth it though because we saw more jellyfish, and this time they had little shrimp and small critters on them. Upon surfacing on this dive, it started to rain. Since it was raining, and I also had to pee, we skipped the third dive and headed back to the dock. The rain was whipping our faces so Julie and I put our masks back on so we could see better. It was a fun ride back, we were all laughing.
After cleaning and unloading gear we got back to their house. We had a great dinner, and I talked with Michel about shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. He helped me understand what to change when I wanted to darken the background of a photo or change other aspects. I knew the basics, but this was really helpful.
