Ei Marc.

Even if it is only good for dynamic, I am glad to hear one of us is getting to be in the water regularly - and that you are never short of dive buddies.

Much of the day here on the ship is spent judging sea state, deploying/recovering instruments and reporting wire angle over the VHF. The water has gotten a little choppy but still looks good. 26.2ºC at 8m, at least 30m of visibility. A translucent sapphire blue.

Captain doesn't allow swim calls (sigh), but we do have an inflatable kiddie pool (max depth 18cm) and an unlimited supply of "uncontaminated scientific seawater." Soon as I get a buddy here, will try some statics.

Just read this spearo story online and it reminded me of our conversations over grilled fish and Moussaka. I want to send you the link. 20Fathoms

Ah Marc, How are you? looking good in the profile pic xx

Hello Marc!

I have not yet soaked up all the wonderful impressions, training and achievements made on the wonderful Island! This was a vacation i will always remember.
It was also good to come home to my wife and son - as always. Home sweet home
It is actually around 20 celcius in my local waters now, so i am able to use my 3mm suit, and dive 2-3 times a week!.... The course has really made me a better diver, and I now act as an "instructor" towards my buddy, which could not attend the course.
So - If you should ever suddenly be in Norway and would like to dive - Call me!
