Comments: A nice, 1-way dive with Linds & Brian. Vis wasn’t amazing & there’s far too much litter about at the moment. Am hoping it’s because of the recent typhoon. Everyone’s air consumption is excellent now. Passed the Ark Dive exit after 14 minutes - right on time

Comments: Dive 150, and a personal depth record was set. Also a new site and a hell of a current. Wasn’t able to appreciate the depth as we were fighting conditions as soon as we got below 18m. The site is nice, with lots of swim-throughs and plenty of fish.

Comments: Last ever dive in Okinawa with Linds, and we went to one of our favourite sites. She had a couple of problems with equalization, but we still managed a really relaxing and enjoyable dive. Another of my good dive buddies leaves Okinawa, and another one who will be sorely missed.

Comments: An average dive to start my time in Thailand. Poor vis and a strong current in parts made conditions less than ideal. There were lots of fish, but give me Maeda, Onna or the Keramas any day of the week.
