Comments

An easy dive, just to relax at a cosy, little dive place in our neighbourhood.  Visibility was good.  We started with a Basic 6 drill, went to the the border of what we call 'The Pit' (the deepest part of this dive site: only 15 m / 50 ft ;-) ).  Here, one of my Essentials candidates made his first progression towards swimming backwards.  However, still quite some work.   We returned passing some sculptures of the so called 'Underwater Museam of Fine Arts'. Ascending with a 6 Min Ascent Drill.  Afterwards some nice belgian beers and fully charged for the next working day.
