Things to Think About:
1. Planning - Who is going to do the carving for your team? Buddy will assist and control Time/Depth/Air
2. Be aware of your fin kicks. The bottom is sandy and your work area can silt up very quickly
3. With your mesh bags capture as much of the excess carving materials and seeds and return with them to shore for disposal.
4. Car Pool if possible. make sure we have room for everyone
5. HAVE FUN!!!!
