| Took a Dr Duncan D5 down to Stoney yesterday and... Had a pootle round the 6m shelf. The RB performed flawlessly and got a few confused looks from passers going to the gents while it was stood next to the door. Especially when I told them it ws a full CCR. They couldn't believe it was so small. "Oh and it's got a 5hr scrubber too". Pardon? Was generally the reply.
Dr. D's done a cracking job on the design. The WOB when I got the counterlung position right was negligible. My buoyancy control was, however, shocking. All that horizintal trim stuff goes straight out of the window. However I did go and say hello to a big old pike who didn't make a run for it until bottle_monkey (my safety diver) came huffing up behing me wheezing like Gary Glitter over a pram and blowing bubbles everywhere. |
