No not me so stay away with that wax pot Delpet Shocked

Went out with Vickie & Heather (her first time without instructors) and led the dive. The good news my compass works and I got us back safely Very Happy

But it was a bit hairy coming back in - Heahter didn't have enough weight - so on the way back in, when we got to around 7 metres she shot to the surface like a cork. Me and Vickie couldn't find her Shocked

until we looked up. We were close enough in to do a safety stop, but we weren't where we were planning to come ashore - so came ashore about 200 yards from where we supposed to. Unfortunately it wasn't a gentle shelf like we are used to. The waves were crashing (by Cyprus standards) in and Heather kept getting knocked over and started to panic. It's just as well I'm Six foot two - I got her weights and kit off her, then chucked her up onto the shore, then had to do the same with Vickie Shocked

I enjoyed the dive though Very Happy
