Buckland again for the club’s 4th lake dive of the year.
Thought had been given to doing shore dives at Seaford instead, however it was
decided that a less tidal site was needed for today’s training. Ben went in with
Clive to do his first open water dives, while Vinay completed his with Lee,
bringing him tantalisingly close to becoming Ocean Diver qualified.
Buckland was quieter than it was the last time we visited, so we had a decent amount of space for kitting up, briefing, debriefing, sunbathing, dragonfly spotting, solstice celebrating and eating cake.
Ross,
Victor and guest star Frank dived as a trio, doing a 64-minute sightseeing tour
to depths of up to 12 metres. It was good to be able to do a relaxing dive,
seeing the various aeroplanes, boats, pumphouse well, plastic shark and gnome
garden in relatively good visibility (5 metres in places) and decent
temperatures (17 degrees at 6 metres, 13 degrees at 12 metres). The sun shone
for some of the morning. 5 of us went in for a second dive, and we were all
done by 2pm.
