The weather was fair which was very nice as we were diving in wetsuits and the water had temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39 F). We used 7+7mm wetsuits and still it was pretty damn cold down there. This dive was also a test dive for our new jackets, and a flashlight I bought the day before the trip (Princeton Tec Rage). The BCD's (Magda's Cressi Aquapro and mine Tusa Liberator) turned out to have a bit too small buoyancy for fresh water, apart from that they did good. The flashlight turned out to be total crap, even for a backup light I intended it to be. It didn't give enough light, was hard to turn on in 5mm gloves and died very fast:(
We did 5 dives during two days to a maximum depth of 30 meters. At this depth it was pretty dark, fortunately we borrowed a bigger flashlight from our friends. Nitrogen narcosis kicked in at 30 meters (probably because of the darkness and water temperature), we started feeling a bit anxious so we turned back and started our ascent. Despite that dive dive was great and we took some interesting photos :
