Sybille Learns to Dive - December 2002

After shaking off the hangover from the Christmas party it was time to test out the waterproof housing for my camera and time for Sybille to learn to dive.

We had previously done some pool training and a shallow dive over sand, but this was now the real thing. Water temperature was a cool 75, viz was about 20ft and the ocean was a flat calm with medium westerly winds.

My regular buddy Alex joined us on this dive and graciously offered to carry the flag
