Diver's Notes

Advanced Open Water dive #3--Deep dive. Controlled decent to about 30m and took the unfair test. I was supposed to spell hippopotomous backwards. We observed the effects of pressure on an egg and a tennis ball and made a controlled ascent at 18m/sec to our 3 minute safety stop at 5m.
