Tech 65



Sasha, Irene and Arthur, three tech divers training for Tech 65 with Alan have been busy this last week. They went on a pleasure dive to the MV Karwela on Gozo for a bit of a break the other day. Sarah one of our instructors lead them out to the wreck. There were lots of Squid egg sacs about ...

Yesterday they had a more serious dive to the Faroud.

It appeared to Sasha and Arthur that Alan and Irene were having a competition for who had the most challenging dry suit to get into ....

Alan gave them some lovely simulations to deal with. They had to switch to back up plans and had to deal with a loss gas ascent followed by a loss deco switch. Which they handled well.

Alan also took his side mounts in to pracice with.

They also handled my first attempt at driving the van Harriet rather well, but to be honest I think they were so tired after the dive they probably weren’t paying much attention to it.

This morning they were up early to get their equipment ready for a 65m di

ve to the bow of the HMS Southwold.
