After a long break due to bad weather dive we were happy, said as Marco on Tuesday finally, this afternoon we could dare our first dive trip from a boat. At the house-reef the water was still too agitated and turbid, but further north the conditions should be much better.
So over time we were two clock before diving school. Today we would not be traveling alone. A German family had booked a boat dive. As always everything was perfectly prepared. We needed to squeeze us only in our suits and pack up our personal things, you're able. The bottles were waiting ready prepared the boat for us.
Already the drive with the speed boat was great fun. Sailing is rather a slow and relaxed pleasure. But that Renner had significantly more horsepower than our SUMMER, more precisely 250 Horsepower. As Dietmar was of course in his element. Thanks to modern technology we take you gladly times a bit Miten . Simply click to open the videos on the links.
Arrived at the dive site, Marco went and esters first to test the conditions under water. From above it looked because of high waves and strong currents not look particularly inviting. Hopefully it was better under water. When they paddled back to the boat, had already read them on the faces, that they had no good news. The shaft was just too high and the view is also very bad. In order for our Plan A had failed. Good, that the pair have a plan B ready. So we sped along the coast to the north. But also to the second possible point the conditions were unfortunately not very inviting. Meanwhile the sun had again completely hidden behind the clouds and the shaft broke in part to the small but fierce, sharp rocks.
Already on water it was uncomfortable….
For experienced divers determined a dive would have been possible, but with our eight dives we were on the level “find out” doch noch sehr weit entfernt 🙂 Mir persönlich war es auch lieber so. I wanted to keep my first boat dive definitely positive memories.
So we went away empty-handed on the way back. For the onset of rain, we were geared up in any case. So our equipment was again rinsed well with fresh water on the way back.
Tomorrow is another day. Und zwar ein ganz besonderer 🙂 Da hatte ich schon vor 40 Years ordered good weather. Let's see, whether it would be delivered
