Diving @ Dorothea

Advanced Nitrox OW Dives 3 & 4:

Dive #1: 40m descent for 6 minutes; ascend to 26m and circle for 10 minutes then a slow ascent with stops using 50% O2 from stage. Buoyancy issues with twin kit still.

Dive #2: Descend to 22m shelf, then 31m descent. Back up slope by huts and ascend via SMB. Switch to 50% O2 during stops. Added 3kg, still had some issues.

Wasn’t the best dives; cold and had some leaks + problem with hose configuration during the dive. SAC slightly high as stressed
