Firstly, if anyone is going up to Scapa, I want a hood, Howard mentioned there is one with a mohecan on it and I want one, if anyone is up there let me know and I will send money.

The Inspiration, hmm, for some reason I found it harder this time, it wasn't the fear of hitting the surface at any moment it was the bizzare feeling of not moving when I breathed in or out. A couple of times I stopped and tried to adjust myself with a little pause before breathing out. All quite normal stuff, do it all the time if I want to keep off the silt. As a result the water behind me resembled a smoke filled wind tunnel. Also, I was flying the suit, not the wing, the Auto-Air beat me again, I just hate those things, I haven't flown the suit for a very long time, spent the whole dive trying to work out just exactly where the pigging autodump should be set. Bit of air in, bit of air out, pantyhose, bloody hard work.

Also, never, ever again will I share a rebreather, ever, no chance, no way. Yuck, a multi retch moment for me.

Andrew
