Notes
This was our third attempt at finding the Palawan. We repositioned the boat and Mike and I followed the marker down and we were dead on again!!! This was impressive to us the ocean is a very big place and trying to find something that is 130' under the water is very hard. We had a GPS, small seas, about a 10 - 15 knot wind, but the most powerful was the currents. The B-boat would drift off the coordinates by a couple hundred feet very quickly, we had to let out the mark very quickly and accounting for all the elements. We had a great dive way too short. I was short on air by the time we were all done taking pictures. I'll post very soon.
