Diver's Notes

Recreational dive to get more comfortable with new gear (7mm suit, gloves, hood) and use of lights. Air consumption a bit high due to some anxiousness for going deeper than previous 35', and having little PT in a number of weeks. Became more comfortable in breathing rate about 1/2 in, after reaching max depth. Comfortable in Reactive 7mm. Hands were chilled in 3mm gloves, but not exceedingly so. 1st Nitrox dive also. Felt much better at the end and after the dive. Needed to hand over hand to get to depth at beginning, but no buoyancy issues during the dive. At teh end, had to hold onto mooring lines for safety stop. Need to add another 2# or swap to steel tank next time, AND do a solid buoyancy check with an empty cylinder...
