The dive was OK. Just a short night dive after work. The Entry was rather difficult due to waves and strong surf. We saw a lot of big paddle crabs and a few sleeping fish.

Really fantastic dive! This was my fifth dive on the Mikhail Lermontov wreck. Also have a look at dive number 45, which was my first dive on it. This was the first dive where I felt really comfortable diving around the wreck. It simply takes some time to get used to its sheer size and to develop a feeling for your rough position and depth. I also had to get used to my new equipment at the same time. In the future I will test new equipment under more familiar and controlled conditions. On this dive we did a few more skills, like examining the effect of pressure on tennis balls and the fading of colours at depth. Afterwards we took a closer look at the ship's bridge.

Really fantastic dive! This was my third dive on the Mikhail Lermontov wreck. Also have a look at dive number 45, which was my first dive on it. On this dive we went along the mast to the top of the ship, past the lookout, search light and radar. Next we looked into the funnel, wich looked like a number of 1.5m wide tunnels into the ship.

Really fantastic dive! We had a great time on the Mikhail Lermontov wreck, one of the largest and most accessible diving wrecks in the world. She was the most luxurious cruise liner of the Soviet Union, 155m long and carrying up to 700 passengers. This was also the first time I tried out my new tech-diving gear.

The dive was OK.
I had to interrupt the previous dive to pick up Megan, who wanted to go for a night dive, too. On this dive most of the big paddle crabs had disappeared, but we still saw a few scollops and fish.

Really fantastic dive! This was my fourth dive on the Mikhail Lermontov wreck. Also have a look at dive number 45, which was my first dive on it. We swam along one of the cranes at the stern of the ship. Then we penetrated the wreck by entering through the main entrance of the swimming pool, and after swimming a few lengths exited through the small side door. We saw a few sea-horses here, too.

Really fantastic dive! This was my second dive on the Mikhail Lermontov wreck. Also have a look at dive number 45, which was my first dive on it. On this dive we had a look at the port side propeller. Each blade is about as long as me. At that depth (around 30 meters) the visibility was reduced to about 1.5m to 2m, so we could only look at one propeller blade at a time. On our way back up we had a look through a few broken glass windows and port holes into the wreck. Some of the intact port holes had air on the inside.
