Diver's Notes

For the first time in two years we got back in the water. I didn't have nearly enough weight on me and by the end it took 7kg to hold me and all that brand new equipment down. It was also the first time I took my camera diving and the lens fogged up after about 40 minutes. It was probably caused by the heat of the video display. There were tons of small damsels and corals abound. It was like swimming in dad's fish tank again.
