Testing Stuff - 11/10/2015

With a new Oceanic computer of late I was keen to test the performance of it compared to my other computer. Part of this was take it relatively deep to see how the no deco times compared with my backup. Diving with Jester, we chose St Catherines and headed to the bottom of the reef.

As we went down I kept an eye on both computers. It became clear there was a considerable difference in the conserative behaviour of one versus the other. However, it took me to a lesser dived part of the reef where we found :

  • Purple sunstar
  • Common sunstar
  • Celtic feather star
  • Firework anemone 

Really quite spectacular.

We ate some falafel and waited for the sun to go down, for a second dive at night. To be honest aside from a few Pollock and a large lobster we never saw the best of the night life.

Still it was good learning experience.
