Diving in sub-optimal condition, Aug 2011

Lessons in the pool
Tom felt that the best diving is the most challenging diving one will ever experience. At 11 degrees Celsius, no water will ever feel comfortable. Bearable, hardly! We were managing just barely.

















Diving at Long Beach, Simon's Town
After a challenging pool session, we all managed to show up the next weekend and attempt to dive in 13 degrees Celsius waters. I had little faith in me, knowing that cold is not my friend, but with much resistance and hesitation we all got in and we all managed to dive dive dive !!!! Crazy weekend, and crazy waters, but we all managed to PASS !
















I fully believed that by the time we were driving home I wasn't only exhausted form the cold water but high on excess Nitrogen gases :-)

But a fantastic day overall!

Cleaning the Ocean Sept 17th

















A wonderful cause and more practice for those who are still nervous about diving alone. Water temperatures are still in the low teens but we were excited to be a part of this wonderful day !
