Who were you diving with?

I missed a comp dive to Hole in the Wall off Rampage mid December.
My boat's about 2 slips north of dive boat row at WPB.
Was walking down the dock and Bob said "grab your gear and come on".
Calm, sunny day, vis reportedly 80 feet, and a great set of dives.

Alas, was on 4th day of 5 day antibiotic run, throat still gravelly, nose stuffed,
chest not too good either.
Between that and the 32% mix in my nitrox bottles, I figured I'd certainly see if
not angels, at least some of the major saints at 150 feet depth, so passed.
Reluctantly, I might add.

Also passed on DS crew dive that night, another double dive opportunity before the
winds set in for the rest of December and blew the month away.

Not a good day to be hacking and coughing.
