Diver's Notes

Easy and relaxing dive. The dive was late in the evening, so it was quite dark under water. Lots of crabs, couple of big lobsters. My 7-LED torch performed really well on full power.
Deployed SMB from 12m depth. It went well, except that I nearly lost buoyancy control during my safety stop (went up to 1.8m, but then regained control and descended back to 5m). Weight belt became loose after surfacing. Since it's happening not the first time, will need to address the issue.
