| We have as a club just done our first UK sea dive. Dispite being off a really
good hardboat with all those lovely wrecks off Weymouth, the weekend
was capped at 20m max.
Before that we'd done several days out at Horsea and Vobster, doing drills
and training. Dispite diving every weekend, I seriously doubt I'll get to
35m/40m before June.
Cautious? Maybe, but then I've got 11 others on every boat who i'd like to
be there when I return from the dive and this gradual build up is IMO one
of the best ways to remain safe.
Whether you do GUE training, workup dives with a PADI crew or are in a
BSAC club, all that matters is that you carefully consider each dive as a
seperate entity and dont get sucked up in the excitement surrounding it.
You always need to consider if you are ready. Always. |
