Forgot to mention the ten minute swim with a hammerhead on the dive today
I want to see a hammerhead
Unfortunately, nothing to report from up here from me again this week. Second weekend of formal dm training which means the skills set and dm conducted programs. For those that have gone through the dm, did your instructor have a laugh and make you do a complete equipment removal AND swap at the bottom? When I say complete I mean everything except wetsuit. Oh, and did they make you do it WHILE BUDDY BREATHING!?!?!?
That was a lot of fun this afternoon
Exams for me next week so no diving for me again, not even in the pool.
Haven't been out much the last few of weeks due to wind & waves. Have had to rebook SURG dives for 3 weeks now. Very frustrating as this is the last site in this series of transects. Oh well, maybe this weekend.
Went down to Sydney last weekend to dive some of the mid depth wrecks. The forecast for both day's was very disappointing, but on the day, both Saturday & Sunday mornings were perfect. Dived the Dee Why on Sat. & the Jane on Sun. Had a bottom time of 20 min & a run time of about 50 min on both. Had an interesting encounter with a giant cuttle on the Jane. They're an odd, curious sort of creature.

The equipment exchange is a required exercise if you're going through PADI. It's designed to help candidates work on problem solving in a stressful situation, but it IS a lot of fun.

Yeah it was a lot of fun
I'm just glad its over now. I have my exams this weekend, wish me luck
Hey Mig-Diver
Good luck with the exams!
Glad you made it through equipment exchange.
Yes it was lots of fun for my buddy (an newly qualified instructor but fortunately someone I knew pretty well) when I decided I needed more air and went to the surface in the middle of my first attempt! I did it fine the second time.
