First open water training dive. Gods the cold was a shock! Mask clearing became a bit of a challenge as cold took my breath but mastered it nevertheless. Shoals of Perch all over the place even following us around :D

Second dive off the day was excellent if exhausting. Was thoroughly warmed through after kitting up but pretty tired after dive one and trying to keep warm during SI. Another crack at my nemesis mask clearing went without a hitch. Ran through OOA scenario which was fun. Need plenty of practice with buoyancy though.

Fun dive, couldn't wait to get back in the water despite the cold. Did the usual run down of skills - had a bit of a moment after doing mask removal and nearly bolted - fought it down and kept my calm thankfully. Got some hover practice in - definitely need more but buoyancy wasn't too bad through.

Second dive of the day, sun was out and we were rested and raring to go for our final training dive :D Did few skills and Nav swim. Finally got down a bit deeper and took a look at the cockpit. After surviving an attack by a crazed Crayfish our dive was over and thats it - qualified divers! Can't wait to get in the water properly and enjoy ourselves.
