Diver's Notes

Checking out Porkkala after a while. Weather turned out to be very nice, after some rain during the day. Temperature around 20 celcius and almost clear skies. Luckily the thunders mentioned in some forecasts didn't show up.

Lousy visibility, but quite warm water.

Marine life: 3 (three!) perches, lot of mussel shells on the bottom.

Puck Pro didn't start calculating the dive so this turned out to be a RDP dive.
