Diver's Notes

Dove NE side of the lake (large side). Did a 15min surface swim to get there. Pascal was flying while I had trouble keeping up and overheated. We dropped to 40ft.
Continued across the lake where we went to 50 ft and eventually lost the visual of the bottom.
After resurfacing, noticed we had headed in the wrong direction and surface swam it. Got across the little island and Pascal started looking for a mask he had dropped a year back or so. HE ACTUALLY FOUND IT! :)

ISSUES:
1) Screwed up the decent somehow and all 3 of us ended up back at the surface (miscommunication with the thumbs-up signal)
2) While Pascal was holding the flag and buddy line, he and I got tangled a few times with the rope (15 min to untangle one of the times on surface)
3) NAV was off so we swam across on the surface.
4) Tried for another dive but lesser air made it too difficult to descend once again. Christiane pulled me down to 15' and I then changed my mind since I was dizzy from water in 1 ear and spinning around underwater to untangle.
5) Surface swim back was a painful 45 min of nearly cramping and overheating. Pascal even overheated a little.
6) A plane started landing and then saw our flag and rerouted. I was glad to have the flag!
