    Cold Water Diving Skills

    Visibility, the challenge, and the fact that the water is always cold around here, especially in quarries. I'd need to drive 800 miles to get warmer water.

    logging pool dives....

    I never log my pooldives. As I'm in a diving club I would log about 50 extra dives a year, and that's not correct. The only pooldive I've logged as of today is Nemo33, as it's 33 meters deep, can hardly call that a pool.

    Why do ya' do what ya' do?

    I dive for the sport of diving, not so much to see the underwater world (not that I don't find it great when I'm underwater, but it's not the reason I go under).

    Attacked for your air supply?

    'Try' is the key word here, it's very optimistic thinking that you can calm them down in a real world situation. It's a pure instinct to rush to the surface and grab every bit of air you find underway, stopping at nothing. As a buddy you can only hope that you weigh enough to keep him down when...

    How deep have you gone and why ?

    114 feet on my 4th dive or so. The reason? I really wanted to touch the bottom of the pool.

    Sinker or Floater?

    I'm neutral about 20 cm under water, so that doesn't help much.

    zero visibility

    Did one of my first dives towards certification in near-zero vis water (no other option sometimes in Belgium, apart from Nemo33), and I must say it's not that bad after you get used to it. I was so happy to see that the vis was suddenly much better at -15m than it was at -8m.

    I took my first breath..and will never be the same

    I've got just the same experience. People warned me before I went to the Canary Islands, that I would get hooked, and I didn't want to believe them, thinking it would be just like taking an ordinary swim. Now that I'm back, I've already found myself a divingclub where I'll be going for my diving...
