Diver's Notes

Buddied w/ Harriet & Rob Jackson(?) (father & daughter). Wreck of the Persia - interesting wreck w/ quite a lot of life; crabs, a big eel. Everything good until ascending - slipped into deco & had a bit of a panic :( fairly quick ascent from about 18m w/ no stop! Felt a total idiot. Went on O2 in the boat - no more diving for me today; computer locked out. Poor Harriet ended up in the chamber :( although later discovered she had a bit of barotrauma to her ear, not DCI as such. A thoroughly unpleasant experience!!
