The weather turned it on for last weekends group of Lermontov divers, both Saturday and Sunday were  and nearly windless. However the weekend was a good example of even if the surface conditions are good the underwater visibility can be unpredictable and change in as little as one tide. Saturday’s vis was as low as 2 metres on the out side, with Sunday being up to 10 metres plus in some areas of the wreck.

The vis didn’t matter to much to those of us that ventured into the bowls of the wreck, I introduced KISS diver and NZ distributor Paul Trainor to the Leningrad restaurant, this is a fantastic dive with vis as good as your light source. Over the weekend we visited the Leningrad and kitchen on a number of dives and found some interesting little cubby holes worth a return visit.

Congratulations to Jasper and Tim who completed their Advanced Openwater Plus course with Go Dive over the weekend and Marek who finished off his Wreck Specialty.

Weekend dive group

Warren and Steve dived with slings for the first time along with Guy as their trusted leader, over the period of the weekend they visited areas of the wreck previously unaccessible to those on single cylinders and really enjoyed the extra security of having a  redundant system inside the wreck and extra gas at the end of the dive to extend their run time while exploring the shallower parts on the out side.

Thanks to everyone for diving with Go Dive and I look forward to having a blast again on next weekends trip which is now full.

Safe Diving
