Diver's Notes

2nd training dive for dry suit course. Better on buoyancy and connecting inflater hose to inflater valve, even though fingers were becoming cold. Victory roll at the end of that effort! LOL

All required skills demonstrated. 18# of weight and I had to hand-over-hand down the line to the platform, even with no air in BCD/dry suit, but at the thermocline at the platform edge, would drop quickly.

Believe with more comfort in the dry suit gear, less weight will be needed. Will be heading back next weekend to get more familiar and comfortable with the gear and improving buoyancy control.
