    First diving: preparation

    August 4, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

    The "baptême" starts and each of us went one after the other one. Jeff had to be with us the whole time. But here the videos/pictures of the preparation we needed and the jump into the water. As a good reporter, I am the one that has almost no video here. Thank you Thomas ... 😒

    Notice the video of Mathijs mounted from the video from the boat switching to the goPro video of his fall in the water. If I fail in science, I have a bright future as video editor.

    These pictures of the post are also in the video. But you see here Jeff explaining to me how we should read the pressure of the airbottle on the gauge, the conventional signs and how the dive is structured.
    First two three minutes we have to get used to the breathing into that tube. Then slowly he brings us -2m and stabilized our jacket so we can float in balance underwater. Then when all is fine from our side 👌🏼 this is the gesture we need to use. Ready to go then down, to -4m or even -8m... Depending on how stable we are.

    Some videos on the dive follow in next footprints :-)
