37 Kristiansund, Norway
6 October 1999. While night diving there is a lot of thing to think about. I did this night dive in Norway on a dive trip, and I learned a lot doing it. We jumped into the water from the jetty at the irand we lived on and went down to the depth of 18 meters. The sight was around 10 meters when the torch was used, and it was 13 degrees in the water and 12 in the air. I was reallt nervous during this dive, not used to night diving. We swimmed over some sea vegetalbes and stuff I never saw, it touc...

36 The Lagoon, Kristiansund, Norway
6 October 1999. I choose to blog this dive as a educational dive because I learned a lot doing it. It sais "idiot dive" in my log book. And so it was. As you can see in my earlier blogs I have been in this dive site before. The Lagoon is beautiful! But... I got a new buddy to dive with, we had never been diving together before. The bottom was 150 meters below us, so we had to be really careful and precise with how we howered. I did it really bad and got stressed. In the end of the dive I also ch...

26 Anna-Maria, Dalarö, Stockholm, Sweden
19 September 1999. This was my second dive as a part of my wreck course. It is the same day and place as my last dive. So the conditions were the same, but we stopped at 20 meters this time. We also made some differences. We had a hard time to navigate at the wreck, so think about that if you wanna go here. And a differende we made this dive was that me used a line to hold on to on the way back to the surface. That was great, it helped us to get a good safety stop. You get here by car and jump i...

24 Bolinders Brygga, Stockholm, Sweden
20 July 1999. Me and the club I belonged to went out to practice some navigation during a dive. I had hire gear: a semidry, 9 kilo on my belt, a medium Coltri BCD. My regulator was giving me to little air all the time. I had to take it really easy and relax. Sometime I even had to "flush" the regulator to get anought air. The sight was from 0 to 2 meters, and it was dark and absolutely nothign to see... It was to dark, and the equipment was not checked by me, so we could not navigate. This was a...

10 July 1999. NAUI Advanced Rescue Diver. Depth: 8 meters. Sight: 2 meters. Water temperature: 20 degrees. Air temperature: 29 degrees. Doing the NAUI Advanced Scuba Rescue diver course I was observing the divers doing the Scuba Rescue course. I observed everything the did, and then I was supervising the rescue of our diving instructor who had got lost in the water. I was screaming and making people work harder to save his life, and then I told them what to do on land. The oxygen is the most imp...

Air temperature: 5 degrees. this dive was done with a dry suit and way to much weights on my belt. I had 12 kilo and sank like a stone. My buddy just saw me dissapear, and I could not move fromthe bottom. I got stressed and started to feel as if my bottle would be empty. My buddy came down to help me up, he had to fill ...

10 April 1999. My third dive during my NAUI Rescue Diver course. Depth: 4 meters. Sight: 0,5 meters. Water temperature: 2 degrees. Air temperature: 10 degrees. Pretty much the same as the second dive: Towed my buddy into the jetty, medic first aid, how to carry an uncounscious diver, how to pull a diver on land if needed, the importence of OXYGEN when there has been a scuba diving accident. And how am I finding my buddy if he dissapears before I can start doing all this? repetiotion is the first...

12 Pressure Chamber, Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
08 December 1998. Me and the diving club I was in to at this time went to Karolinska hospital in Stockholm to do a simulated deep dive down to 50 meters in a pressure chamber. This is a perfect experience I can recommend every scuba diver to get! We sat in to the chamber and went deeper and deeper. It got hoter and hoter and we started to feel the pressure affect our ears, lungs and every piece of our bodies. At aboout 30-35 meters depth I started to feel dizzy, just as you do when you are just ...
