Time : 60 mins
Depth : 13.7m
Temp : 18 C
Nitrox : 32%
Ok, so what on earth am I doing using 32% nitrox on a 14m diver. Well I was booked to go and dive The Alaunia on my birthday a couple of days before which is a huge wreck in the middle of Eastbourne bay, but the dive was canceled due to windy weather and and the rough sea. It seemed a shame to waste the gas but then diving this year has been cancelled alot due to windy days.
Anyway this was the maiden voyage of my new 6.5mm Oceanic semidry. I didn’t wear a hood an undersuit or shortie over the top and I was nice and warm for a whole hour. Splendid :-) The Viz was low due to the poor weather for the previous few days, but there were loads of fish about and we watched a crab and a fish have a scuffle over a shellfish.

My money is on the Crab. I’ll give you good odds…
