A first testrun.
Hey folks, here's what it could be like. - This weekend, Katja K., Olivier H., Andreas F. and Waterenthusiast came over for a taste of this winter's diving. Fun stuff!
Saturday was a glorious day, greeting us with blue skies and a bright sun, but it was one of those crisp, clear, cold days. After a hearty breakfast to provide for some heat, we headed out towards Wallhausen, got changed there on the beach and got into the water, which was down to 7°C.
visibility was 8+m and the lake was flat as if it had been ironed down. Wonderful conditions for a short set of dives for each of us.
When we got out of our suits, we had been in for about 45 minutes, but there were smiles all over. A good day of diving for all of us.
A couple of helpings of wintery soup later, we headed out to the local sauna - haaaahhh...... - a glorious way to defrost the bones..
Today - sunny, crispy, cold again - we decided to skip the changing on the beach and got into the suits here in the flat, then drove there and walked right into the lake. What fun! Four (Andreas had left saturday) divers in suits driving, and then walking, through town.
And that idea was the best thing ever! We were so much more comfy. Again some seriously good diving in those conditions and after the dive we just dried the suits off a bit, got in the car and got out of the suits at home under a hot shower.
A great weekend! Looking forward to seeing more of You people here!
