Tune up V4.0

So we went back into the lake last week! Here is a few shots from the session.


The Blooms have died clearing the viz on the pump house side to about 8m but it has left a thick easy to disturb cloud of dead matter from anywhere thereafter. It was only after connecting the primary reel into the line course at 9m that we started to realise that even the slightest disturbance triggered a long staying particulate to hang in the water column.


It was a great but unexpected chance to practice some cave skills! Louise and I simulated single file exits through the muck and much to our relief have not completely forgotten how to efficiently exit on a line! Thanks Naomi for patiently waiting and taking some photos :)


All in all we got through switches, Line course exits, S Drills and gas sharing ascents. Not a bad day by any means. 


Thanks for Christain Naomi, and Louise for attending. I will sort another one out in the coming months and lets hope that the viz has improved even if the temperature had dropped somewhat.


You can smell the decomposition before you get in the water! The surface the growth has been enourmous, Although the weed grass in the shallows has a certain allure!
