Day 158 - 12th July 2010

We were both on the afternoon boat going to Mango bay for a double dive.  This is a pretty shallow dive site, so perfect for Simon as you know, he's not been able to equalise due to a sinus problem for a couple of weeks and it's been driving him crazy.
So in the water, we causiously made our decent down the buoy line.  At 5 meters all was good and then Si ascended a couple of meters to see how his sinus's felt.  All was good, so we dropped slowly to about 12 meters and pottered about in the shallows.   Throughout the dive I was very concerned and kept checking Si  to see if he was ok.  All was good, only some mild pain on surfacing and a huge smile on Si's face, which made a pleasant change.
After a 45mins surface interval we kitted up for our second dive which was much the same, slightly shallower, saw a blue spotted ray chilling out under some coral but not much else but a very enjoyable time had.

A good result to a very nerve wracking test dive...
