There was only one student, Charles, in this class working on his TDI Deco course this last weekend. Both the Instructor Denise, and Charles the student were in Sidemount.

On Saturday morning, after an evening of academics and a V Planner session at the cottage, Denise, Charles, Scott and Christopher headed off to Orange Grove (http://www.scubadiver.cc/forums/showthread.php?t=1192) for the first day of Charles Deco (http://www.scubadiver.cc/forums/showthread.php?t=1666) training.

He did three nice dives over the day working on dropping and picking up O2, gas switching, lift bags and making deco stops.

On Sunday morning, we headed off to Little River, as Charles was cave trained, for the final dives. He already had his dive plans made out, so we got our gear together, and put everything down in the water. It was HOT out at Little River, and we got there early to beat the crowds, and to get some nice car parking.
We used nitrox as back gas and oxygen to decompress on. We planned a long dive along mainline. The flow was not too strong today, and the visibility was 40 plus feet.

Despite some light issues (on the way out) :(, we had a nice dive, and we were the only divers there, so we had the place to ourselves.
As we left though, the car park was packed with locals.....you need to get there real early on a weekend to get some parking.
Great weekends diving, and congrats to Charles who all did really well in his Deco (http://www.scubadiver.cc/forums/showthread.php?t=1666) Class! :armata_PDT_34:
