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.
