The weather is getting better, and so is our diving. It was only Johan and me training today. Before the dive we set up a buoy for the Oxygen-rig, so it is ready when we use it after our dives. Johan went first and I was his safety diver. Then we switchen rolls. Up to now, my training routine was, to pull myself up with my arms from depth, rather then swimming up with my mono-fin, like during the actual competition dive.

Rob and Johan found this rather odd, that I never train the real competition style and asked me how that I would know wether my legs will bring me safely to the surface during the competition. My reason is/was that I always wanted to save my legs power for the competition, because shortly before the comp I would rather not waste my legs. This time it is different. I have reached depths where it does make sens to give my legs a proper test and the comp is stil far away.

Johan set the rope to 100m and for the first time I plan on swimming back up to the surface.  But as expected, I didn't see the rope and therefor decided to pull myself up hand over hand, to a depth where I could see the rope and then swam the last 65 meters. At least the depth, 99m, and consequently the equalization worked out fine. I guess I will stick to my training routine for now.
