2016-09-30 - Altare, Portofino, Italy
30.3m - 40 min - Dived with Marco Maghella from Massub
First dive to qualify to dry suit certification. I was lucky enough to get a brand new drysuit from the dive agency. 20 min boat ride to the dive site. Giant stride into the water. DM briefed me very well on the dive site and the skill I would be working on with the dry suit. I was slightly heavy (1 kilo over) and had to fiddle with the air in the suit and the BC to find proper buoyancy. Keeping neutral buoyancy was a challenge but managed to properly push and purge air from the drysuit. Also learned to move air from the bottom of the suit (feet) to the top so it can be purged. Also, this was the first dive with the new uwatec computer. much more information available and the real-time gas monitoring is a great feature. Really enjoyed this dive.

Second dive to qualify for the drysuit certification. After removing 1 kg (2 lbs) buoyancy control was much improved. Finished the required exercises for the certification: Swapping low-pressure hose and removing and putting BC back on. Also a NITROX dive (31 EAN) Enjoyed the dive much more-
