Check dive.
We went in a 4 pair team with dive guide Fefe.
Tested weigths first: I had 8 kg (4 +4 in BCD w.pockets) which was too little, took 1 kg more from the boat. Even that 9 kg feeled maybe too little at the end of the dive.
Will try 10 kg for next dive: 3 + 3 kg to BCD w.pockets + 4*1 kg to belt.
Torch was on left BCD D-clip and seemed to be a little in the way.
Camera was on right BCD clip and got tangled around regulator all the time, should try another location for the camera.
Reef was nice with lots of small fish, saw small ray and stone fish at the bottom.
No significant currents.
At the end of dive had problems staying in 5 m, but Jyri had even bigger problems.
Launched an SMB, but it really didn't fill up enough with air, should be able to get more air into it.
Took 135 pictures, most of them OK, a few decent ones, nothing spectacular. Colours were not very bright.
