@Eccleston Delph

Diving with Wayne, Mel & Yuri – 2 dives as a precursor to next weeks boat dive.

Dive #1:
15.9m max depth, 9.5m average - quite warm (15c). Visibility was terrible (0-2m at one point, so we came back to roped lines and swam through and around the Drifter cruiser for a while. Followed line back to the 10m platform where practiced deploying Mel’s SMB (using crack bottle) with Wayne. 3 minute safety stop was around 4-6m but fine. Swam back into ramp for exit.
Bottom time: 25 minutes

Dive #2:
Same as previous dive with a 12.5m max depth and 6.4m average. Wayne deployed SMB from transit van with 3 min safety stop at 5m.
Bottom time: 34 minutes
