Visibility sucked today due to recent rains with average being about 3-5', and she did well considering her experience and conditions. She did find out today that her birthday pressie in two weeks will be diving with whale sharks at the worlds largest aquarium (the Ga. Aquarium), and she was understandably psyched beyond belief!kiwikrasher wrote:
Altitude dive by any chance Mac? I love freshwater diving for a change. If you haven't already, you should see if you can do a river drift dive somewhere, so much fun!!

I had to work about 5 days off duty for this, but completely worth it for her reaction today
Just with your dive Mac, any dive at 1000' or more is classed as an altitude dive in that you need to adjust your pressure group in dive planning. So if your diving off a dive planner chart it's worth looking at the adjustment. If your diving on a computer, no dramas as it will automatically adjust nitrogen loading values.
As for today's conditions, it will add tons to her confidence having handled that. Makes for a much more rounded diver on my experience.
