2nd of March 2025 – yet another freezing day with some ice and snow – so why not – 5 of us decided to do some training and test kit. Leaving London Area by 5:30 was tough, but arrived at Vobster before gate opening – hey !
With some initial kit fuff (guilty as charged …) we got first dive done – James and Jack some SD training – using the black magic tools such as compass, Stephen, Paul and my self doing drysuit familiarisation with Stephen. I made A mistake to stay in water until we sorted all the kit and weighting issues – so started the dive already freezing, good shortish dive and Stephen amazed how drysuit can change the diving feel… Vobster vis was quite good now with usual fish e.g. perches to be seen – although as we were not first in the water our estimates are at 5+ meter (I think in the morning it was better) … Jack and James continued with the sport diver training on second dive, Paul and Stephen (without me as I was still shaking although no more completely uncontrollably … ) one more dive; good day with many lessons learned and follow up training to plan 😊 on the way back we decided to use the Tesla excuse and stopped at Services for food and drinks (in addition to all the soups and burgers we got from Vobster food van) before arriving in London – just before the traffic got too bad… thanks to all
