Week 8, Day 38

Today our dive involved the use of through water comms. Up until now we have used life lines and ‘bone’ comms, both of which have not worked well. The thought of another ‘non-working’ comms system was in my mind but, the truth be told, the wireless comms worked brilliantly. It was like having a walky-talky under water and the reception was crystal clear.
Here is a picture to give you an idea. Basically your mask has a button on the end to talk and two headphones attached. At the same time and there is a box on your side that transmits / receives the signal.

During our dive we had to follow directions from the surface and swim along the sunken tanks on the seabed. It was a nice and easy dive that we all enjoyed.
