We ended up doing 2 dives today at the Ammo Jetty Alex......... Viz was shit 2.5m -> Silt out and it was pretty surgey.
Water temp 19 degrees (I was in a 3mm)
Dive 1
OWD Drills: diver tows, R & R gear, R & R weights, surface nav, mask floods, R & R mask, 5/3 stop etc
Max depth 8.8m
Time at depth 27mins
Air in: 210bar
Air out 130bar
Dive 2
OWD Drills: underwater nav exercise, alternate air buddy ascent, CESA, bouyancy & hovering, 5/3 stop.
Max depth 7.5m
Time at depth 50mins
Air in: 230bar
Air out: 140bar
My buddy (for the day) hadn't prep'd his new mask, he suffered hardcore fogging all day and was a bit of a wanderer....Just what you want - a blind dude in low viz who just wanders around all over the show.... At least he stuck with me when we were completely silted out by another dive group.
We ran out of time for our 3rd dive today, so now I have my final 2 open water dives tomorrow at the coombes (was supposed to be Rotto but the forecast is for 30knts by lunchtime FML!).
I'll do Rotto in the next few weeks depending on what the weather does - at least now I'll be OWD certified & able to take my camera to shoot some stills & video. Plus the Rotto dives are free dives now.
Cannot wait to get wet tomorrow rain, hail or shine!
