Due to internet problems, I found out quite late that my training slot was shifted back  one hour. Would have been good to know that ahead of time, but so what, thats what it is. I find myself the only one of my team training today, but I was hoping for the Canadian safety team to help me out and safety for me.

As I came to the Blue Hole, everyone was just about to leave and no Canadians around. But I am still determined to procede with my preparations anyhow. I arrive at the platform and meet the divers from the Canary Islands. They offer their help, which I was very happy about. I set my alarm to 66m, although I actually had my mind set to go for 70m. It was a rather unusual training for me, as 6 people were watching me, being that I was the  only one training.

After my warm-up dives, I went for my target dive. Soon, I realized that my weight choice was a bit on the heavy side, as I started free-falling as shallow as 15m. I heard the alarm going off at 66m, but I just kept on going a bit, in order to come close to my predetermined target of 70m (the rope was set to 90m). I had to give my breaststrokes quite some effort to swim back to the surface, being that heavily weighted. Exhausted I checked my dept-gauge, which indicated 78m - nice surprise.
