Redemption - 30/05/2017

According to the Kingmaker after my last dive at the A-Frames around a month ago I had to redeem myself by proving that I could navigate all the frames on a single dive. I was confident - as long as the vis was more than the one metre we had on our last trip to the site.

We kitted up, buddy checked and entered the water. Once we were all set we headed down to what I call the A Frame where the Kingmaker issued his favourite instructions....



It was set then. From there we headed down to the deep frame befoe returning to dive what I call Frames 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Relative disaster struck at Frame 3 where I began to feel water on my back. I had sprung a drysuit leak. I signalled that I had a problem and needed to go up to Kingmaker & Jester. They were cool with that.

As we headed back in I spotted a lovely, big, aggressive lobster, but as you'll appreciate, taking pictures wasn't high on my priorities. However, my navigational reputation had been redeemed.
