I'm off on a dive trip to South Australia in a couple of days to dive a 130 metre warship (HMAS Hobart), with that in mind I'm doing a purely training dive with my buddy tommorow to practice skills that I'll need to have up to scratch for what will be a reasonably challenging dive.
The dive environment: 30 metres depth with strong currents, average viz. and the actual wreck itself can't be recreated on our practice dive tommorow which will most likely be an unninteresting local shore dive in 5 metres of water, but the practice will still be of good use.
The question I have is.. What skills do I need to practice..?
Off the top of my head I can think of the more obvious ones, mask removal/replacement, bouyancy control, buddy breathing etc etc etc but I'd hate to forget to practice something and then find myself screwing up on the wreck and not being able to easily rectify the problem because I haden't kept a particular skill up to par.
Anyone know of a list somewhere on scubaboard where someones addressed this question, or feel like taking a stab at it themselves, cheers
