Diver's Notes

+Vyper
Shore Dive

Long period since last dive - joined Thursday Dive as a refresher prior to Malta trip.

Cold water. Overestimated weight needs - expecting higher due to gloves, hood, thick wetsuit but 10Kg was excessive. Dive okay, but bouyancy control was clearly below optimal due to lack of practice

Impressive thermocline giving white 'cloud' effect near bottom. Saw a juvenile pipefish as well as a lrger adult one
