Diver's Notes

This was a beautiful dive, our second at Lighthouse. My gear was playing up today, My Mares BC seemed to keep inflating no matter how frequently I deflated. I communicated with Wolf successfully to let him know what was wrong, and he recognised that my inflator hose was leaking air into the BC and disconnected it. As it was a shallow dive and I felt confident, we were able to complete the dive. My BC did not function except as a weight belt. When we returned to the boat I exchanged the faulty BC for a fresh Aqualung model and had no further issues. I was pleased that I not only had developed the communication skills to solve the problem without surfacing, but I also did not panic, even when it became clear that I would have to rely on my own natural buoyancy. It tested my ability to dive well under pressure and to maintain buoyant using the skills from the advanced course.
