We just finished a great dive on the Fumitzuki. Susan had her first real decompression dive with Steve and me. You know multiple stops, free swimming and 15 minutes.
The viz on this dive was not great and it was worse everywhere Jim and Jess were. They exhibited no finning technique. To make things worse Jim is still wearing those force fins that just generate silt on their own.
The weather has been mostly overcast with some wind in the afternoon which made some of our earlier diving a challenge. It has made the light underwater a little flat.
Holland had a rough first day — she flooded one of her strobes. The Captain loaned her one of his and she is going to take a class from him on wide angle photography. Not a bad exchange. Today went better for her.
Steve is having fun. He was the only one who did the night dive last night and will probably be the only one tonight. A diver after Ann’s own heart.
Our next dive is on the Shinkoku Maru. We will be here for the rest of the day. Steve and I will be starting on his penetration dives on this wreck. Steve is feeling lucky.

Silence Underwater – Recreational CCR Diving
Dräger put it best when they coined the term dive silently in their advertising for the Dolphin semi-closed rebreather system. Technology has advanced significantly since recreational divers were introduced to rebreather diving by Dräger.

The rebreathers currently available to divers make diving silently more fun and safer.
