Finally a scuba dive


Even an unwanted one.....
We anchored near lagos for a swim at one of the beaches which you can only reach via boat.
When we wanted to get the anchor up i realized that it was stuck completly.
Should we call for a scuba diver? NO WAY!
So we opened the compartment with the diving gear and i got a 10L tank with a backplate and a wing out.
Of course one o-ring failed on one of the regulators but this was fixed quick. Then i only had the turtlefins which are HUGE so i put on one pair of my boat shoes in them.
The sailing gloves and a fishing knife and the old topping lift line should do as tools.
The idea was to install a trip line on the anchor and pull it out from the other side. Maybe with the Dinghy.
But when i decided i felt at home. I had a BIIIIIIGGGG smile doing my first dive after 3years.
Visibility was around 6-8m and some small fish were around.
The anchor was jammed under a rock plate but i could move it out and it digged into the sand.
Back up to the boat, anchor up and off we go.....

What a nice dive....
