Notes:

When choppy water resulted in our evening dive being cancelled, Sylvain and I decided to take another try at getting to the stacked hulls. Our strategies included:

  • surface swimming as far as we could while still seeing the line
  • swimming above the lines instead of on the lines to use less air
  • swimming slowly as to reduce air requirements
Our attempts worked to a degree - we made it as far as we had on the first dive, but had overexerted ourselves and were out of breath, so turned around. We'll try again another day.

The visibility was miserable anyway, so it will be nice to try again when we can see more.
