Number 25
Yesterday was my 25th dive, Jan's 50th dive and my first dive in Zeeland ('t Koepeltje in Grevelingen). Another milestone this weekend.

How did your floating legs thing work out?
@lilaspecs: yeah on our arrival it was raining a bit and it was windy but it got better afterwards. But in the water it's wet anyways ;).
@snooker: hey thanks for asking. I bought a 12L tank that is longer and narrower so to make sure it is still haning on my ass. I also watch out not to put it too high. And I bought 2 half kilo's lead for my anckles. I had first tested it all once in the pool on Saturday.
Yes the floating feet were definately better, but I really still need a lot more practise to dive in colder low visibility water. The heavier equipment, the light, the gloves, ... it's all still so new for me. At one point I started moving too much again...started going up a bit and let too much air off my BCD as a reaction. So I sank into the sand creating zero visibility for myself. At that point I was glad to know I was attached to Jan via a buddy line, so I could refind my buyuancy calmly knowing that jan was just there even though I didn't see him at that moment. On other points visibility was better (only 2m max though) and we saw an incredible amount of lobsters and crabs.
