white river dive

saturday me and S dived the White River site in Akamas, past Paphos. It was an easy dive, but we had a few problems with the weighting (that means that we got much less weights than needed, and the dive guide had to get back to the car for some more weights).

It was the first time I put a large rock in my BCD pocket to be able to stay down. Other than that, it was a smooth ride (well ... dive).

Also, half way through the dive (as my tank was half empty) I had to get some extra-weights (again) because I was starting to float.

Enough with the boring stuff, here are some pictures:
