Advanced and Beyond

These guys were good, dive 1 was a square navigation dive and both groups aced it. Well at the speed Erika and Cozette were going they almost sped passed the final grid stop, but after some serious sprinting I caught up to them.















With having mastered that so easily, I thought of throwing the book at them and made sure the search and recovery will not be that easy. I “dropped” weights in serious low visibility overgrown areas, making small search patterns by touch the only choice. After 40 minutes of freezing water I almost gave up, and was willing to abandon my precious weights to the deep blue, but then within minutes both groups recovered their artefacts! Almost Zero visibility not bad!

The night dive was fun with the deep dive following the next morning. Ruan almost got himself stuck to the bottom due to the low volume of the BC he was diving with, but then if you cannot swim you can crawl to the PUMA helicopter. Anybody spotted the skeleton pilot sitting in the cockpit seat :-) ?






The light salvage dive turned into a real salvage dive when the lift bag decided to give its last on the way up. Wilhelm thought some-one is out to get him when the bag of weights which was on the way up came down faster than planned again next to him. But with team work we got the weight box and the inflation cylinder back to shore again.
Thanks guys !

What a great weekend thank you for the 4 real advanced divers!
