I wasn't really sure if I should go for 100m again or rather specifically train my equalization technique. After finding out that the oxygen tank, for decompressing after the dive, was empty, it was clear that I can not make a 100m dive. So, up and down I went ,over and over again, mostly in the 10 - 30m range. At the end I couldn't leave the Blue Hole without making one deeper dive, without packing to 68m. Tomorrows dive will show if this equalization training was any good.

I used Rob's lighter weight again, but this time I use my new Waterway monofin, which is more streamline and quite heavy. Comparing the dive profils, I could see that my free-fall was significantly faster. I will keep on trying different combinations, especially with other diving suits, during the coming days.
