Dive
Cruised through my skills, all done first go. Viz didn't improve but I was mostly in the shallows. Needed a slow descent as had some blocked sinus issues. Instructors words ringing in my ear "Early and often!" I set off with some underwater navigation. Given the visibility I quickly realise the importance of underwater navigation! considering I can barely see my compass, let alone the number on the dial or the North sign! I repeat this skill a number of times as I really want to get it nailed. After the dive I also work on my dive log and calculating my pressure groups.
