My professor told me to focus on the north side of the dig site in Crete.

I spent a week on the south side finding nothing but pottery shards. Moved to the north like he said and found a complete Minoan seal stone on day two. It had a bull-leaping scene carved into it. Anyone else have a tip from a mentor that paid off big?

Read a blog post about a guy who ignored his dive master about checking under a specific coral shelf. Missed a whole Spanish wreck.
