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.

Towards the end of the dive I had an uncontrolled buoyancy ascend due to equipment problems. Fortunately I managed to get back to a safe depth within two minutes to recompress. I did not get bent in the following 16 hours to the next dive, so I must have done something right.
