Earlier in the year I took the decision to improve upon my diver training. As such in 2017 I'd already added the following to my diving arsenal:
This weekend I was about to add another - ScotSAC Deep Diving. The course which it seems is run once a year teaches divers to "dive to depths appropriate to the equipment you use, to a maximum depth of 50m".
So with a full day of lectures complete, a few practical planning exercises done and our planning done for our dive, myself and Marchen (my buddy for the day) headed to the curiously named Hangman's Reef with our instructors and we were set to go. We planned the dive and dived the plan overcoming the flashcard hurdles put in our place.
The whole thing was more of an exercise in discipline as opposed to diving deep. It certainly taught me a more disciplined less computer-centric approach to diving beyond 30m.
We surfaced bang on time. Now qualified to go to 50m. Later that evening I had dinner with the Gandalf of the Internet and the Kingmaker, we made plans to go to deeper. So now the journey to Atlantis begins.
