Day 19 – Currents and other Annoyances

Categories Week 4

Back out on the Boat

We’re back out on the boat today and the ones who didn’t do the deep dive yesterday get to go to 30m today. As we’re headed to the dive site I can barely believe my eyes when I look at the sonar. 137m and all the way down to 145. We’re not even that far from the coast. It almost seems like I could swim to the beach from here. I had no idea it drops off that far, that close to shore. Amazing.

The current is quite a bit stronger today and the group has to do their exercise a few meters above the ground.

Juan Carlos is in the water as safety diver, apnea safety diver. Trained to free-dive to depths of 50 meters, 30 is no problem for him. Should there really be an emergency, he would be down there and able to intervene much faster.

When the divers are back on the surface the situation has only gotten worse. The current has picked up even more and Tato has cancelled the trailing exercise for the day. Too dangerous. Damn it, that looked like such a blast. Hopefully we’ll have better luck next week.
