Diver's Notes

First dive of the year, long delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Dived with Istvan.
A bit stressed start of the dive, I made a few stupid mistakes (forgetting to open air, when kitting up, forgetting dry suit inflation hose, not putting regulator in while donning fins in the water, which caused a sip of salty water).
Otherwise ok dive. Was good to get back in the water after long no diving period.
Lots of life, seal approached us and tried to nip fins. Lots of fish fry, a few lobsters and crabs.
Had 6kg weight on the belt, which worked well, and I think 5kg would have worked sufficiently.
