Crummock Water, Lake district, first dive 22 m max, for 30 mins, doing Dive Leader stuff with trainee, 2nd dive 16m max for 25 mins, doing role as "Numptie diver" to test potential DL's ability to cope with trainees inevitable FUBARs. Pulled a cool OOA stunt, potential DL hadn't checked my air for about 10 mins, so I sneakily closed down one valve, breathed the reg down and swopped to back-up, you should have seen the look of confusion when eventually she asked for my air and I showed her a flat gauge
A handy way to drive the point home
Air temp... dunno but the ice began to form on my kit before I got it packed away, water temp, anywhere between 5 & 7 deg C depending on depth at the time.
Possible the nicest weather I've ever seen in the lakes, cloudless sky, glorious sunshine, all in all a Grand day out.

PS following the recent "shutdowns" thread, and being on Mr Hayhurst's home territory, I made sure to keep a beady eye out for sneaky YBODers turning my air off
Keeps you on your toes if nothing else
