Diver's Notes

3mm shorty

Saw an octopus!

Really starting to get the hang of using my lungs to control buoyancy, but still racing through air.

Also I need to get my own mask, my brow hurt like hell after these two dives, cause the mask was digging in.

Got to ascend on my own this time with a safety sausage and reel. Handy thing to have.
