Cold Water Diving

Up until I experienced a cold water dive, I was always thinking about Ice Diving -being the nut head that I am-. Yesterday we went out for a fun dive to a 15meter depth site. Waters in the sea were getting way too rough. We're talking 5 feet plus. The boat was rocking and there was just no way for us to gear up and jump in that site.

So we decided to change the location to a less rough area with a 6-7 meter depth. The scary part wasn't the rough waves... On the contrary I love a bit of adventure. The scary part was that first contact with the water knowing the temperature was 19c!!!

With the think suite (at least I thought) I was wearing I made a jump into the water and my god it was cold! With 5 divers in the water and 20 minutes into the dive 3 of us went up, because you consume lots of air in cold water and you do loose energy. I hadn't known until I tried it.

With two of us left underwater, we decided to challenge our limits and continue until our air was out or the time was up. Fortunately, our air went out and we managed a 45 minute dive in cold water. The experience was amazing because it got me shivering in the last 10 minutes. I had to continue the dive to know my limit plus understand the suit I was wearing.

When I got out of the water, everything was warm in comparision to 6 meter down there. I was happy to have tried something different and yet even happier to have understood my limitations.

One of the most important things you can learn from scuba diving is to wash your equipment and gear. Its very important to maintain your gear to get maximum life span and ensure your gear performs safely when diving.
