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.

It is simply amazing to watch it, I really envy the freedivers their freedom. In the beginning of the movie you can see the support tech divers, watch the amount of equipment they need.

Hopefully I’ll go to Dahab and do this dive using tech equipment, I have the education to do it, but never been to Dahab.

Here is a map of the divesite.

We were diving with Dyk Leif

The diving, the food, the fun was great, the visibility not that good. But still a great trip.

A nice looking crab.

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.

Features (Borrowed from Waterproof website)

• Latex Wrist Seals – allows the flexibility to use any mfg’s dry-glove ring system.
• Warm Neck – Now we have improved our frequently imitated Warm Neck design to even better performance.
• A separate hood fits underneath the warm neck collar.
• Because of the shaping of the CETUS, there are no seams in the under arm area or in the crotch area, where any wrinkling will cause wearing.
• The boots are extended in the rear calf area, which facilitates an easy step in.
• Reinforced soft boots ensure ultimate strength and flexibility.
• The Boots are cut on an angle to minimize ankle and calf stress while finning.
• Chill Guard. Under the Dry Zip, it not only keeps body heat in, it also keeps your undergarments out of the zipper for trouble free operation.
• A Seat that Grips – Poly-urethane embossing in the back provides a no-slip grip and integrated abrasion protection.
• Knee Guards – PU-injection molded knee guards provide hard-core protection without compromising comfort and flexibility.
• Anatomical Sculpting – with 3 dimensionally sculpted arms and legs Cetus provides an anatomical fit designed for human movement.
• Each suit is tested by an overpressure check.
• SI-TECH valves, swiveling inlet valve and automatic outlet valve.

My termal protection is a 4th Element Xerotherm Arctic very nice and very warm.

Until now I have only been diving in a wetsuit, also a Waterproof model. But I have now been diving in a wetsuit since 2001, and was starting to get annoyed that the water here in Denmark was to cold in the winter. So I ordered the drysuit, custom made for my figure.

Today was the first time I dived in it, together with a diving friend Keld, we went to the harbour in Copenhagen to dive near a power plant the H.C. Ørsted Værket.

We jumped in at the mark, then we dived following the north wall, for about 15 minutes and turned around.

There wasn’t anything interesting to see, but it was great to dive a Drysuit. Specially after the dive, where i just took it off and was dry, compared to squeeze out of my wetsuit, and being cold and wet.
