I have been thinking about buying a Poseidon Discovery MK-VI Rebreather for a few years now. Last Wednesday I did it. I ordered the unit from Scansub DK Diver in Roskilde, Denmark.

So when the unit arrives from Sweden, I am going on an IANTD course, to learn to dive the unit.

I’ll be back with more information when I have had some experience on the unit.

The main reason I wan’t to dive a rebreather is to get longer bottom time without going into deco, and also to make less noise underwater when doing underwater photography. And of course a new toy is always fun

Gratulations to all of you, was a pleasure teaching you.

Pictures and video can be found here: Gallery

Here you can see where we did the diving:

Gratulations to Michael #200, and Theis #201.

We had 2 great dives with a nice 8 degree warm water, very good visibility, and the students were very good.

I had the pleasure of diving with my friend Arne, at Trykkerdammen near Helsingør, Denmark.

The air was -5 degree Celsius, the waters surface temperature was about 2 degree Celsius, from 8 meters and deeper the water was a nice 8 degree Celsius warm.

I was using my Twin 10 set, to get more used to diving with it, I did notice a few things I need to adjust for future dives.

I wish you all a merry Christmas
Hope you have a nice evening together with your family, and maybe even get what you wished for

And what is better than a Christmas tree worm

The night dive, navigation and peak performance boyancy we did at Amager strandpark, here:

The deep dive we did on the north eastern side of the Swedish island of Hven, here:

The Boat dive we did just outside Rungsted Harbour, here:

One of the students Siri, was so kind to let me use these pictures:

You can see the gallery of the open water trainings here, taken by Alice a divemaster trainee, the quality is not very high due to bad visibility.

I had the pleasure of reaching this milestone together with Natalie, who needed a scubareview.

We made the dive at the Knud Rasmussen statue north of Copenhagen, a nice an quite divesite, not very deep, only about 5 meters, but with a lot of things to look at, and very nice for scubareviews.

We went to a place in Helsingør called Trykkerdammen, and had two good dives.

One 36 Minutes long, and the second just 30 minutes long.

I often use this divesite for the last 2 open water dives, when conducting a Padi Open Water course, because it is quite easy to get to around 14-16 meters of depth here, actually the only place around Copenhagen where it is possible without a boat.

Early in the morning we went to Hundested harbour to go onto the boat DKDivers, from the diver center Frank works at.

After about 1 hours of sailing, we arrived at the dive site, about 6 nautic miles north of Hundested.

It was quite funny to dive a huge crane, something new. We saw 2 large nudibranches, but of course I did not bring my camera.

Frank thanks for a great day.
