Today...hmmm, let me think...oh yes, I slept in which is not normal for me. This left me out of sorts which was reflected in my diving. Not that I was short of a good training depth but, it just took me longer to warm up to it. After the depth training we were off for some spearfishing complete with a Japanese film crew in tow. Amazingly, these guys were able to catch up to Rob King, Will Winram and myself who had entered the water well in advance of them. They were also using scuba gear which does not allow them the same speed in the water that we enjoy. Spearfishing was great fun, managed 3 grouper and a nice mackerel. Now, I am tired and ready for a good nights sleep before training again tomorrow.

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.
