Brrr.
It still beats having to sit around talking about diving. Miracle Waters can be a fun dive - in a way. I get a kick out of sitting in the bus, every time (though I may have been dropped when I was a child).
The big plus is not having to put up with a rough entry (we spent 5 minutes waiting for the right set to come through this weekend before the boat could be launched!).
We had 21 degrees C water this weekend with 25m viz on the Shoal. And sharks. (Sorry.)
Cheers,
Andrew

Cold !!! We dream of 16 deg . Visit us in Dec / Jan for some Atlantic dives - a balmy 8 deg or so. No drysuit allowed.
You should try diving in Finland. There's pretty much nothing to see u/w and water temp is around 10 degrees. On the surface it's around 20 but it drops as soon as you decent to some 3-5 metres. After that you start looking for some rocks or a log if you're lucky No seriously Finnish waters do have some nice wrecks but I haven't visited any of those

LOL!
That sounds terrible. It makes me wonder why a dive computer manufacturer is based in Finland. Why do all the effort?
