Last Saturday, I headed again for more skills and drills practice, this time down to Xatt l-Ahmar, where I was joined by no less than three good diving buddies of mine. \u00a0Three of us were on CCRs \u00a0(me on the JJ, and two of my friends on a Meg and X-CCR respectively), and a fourth on open circuit in sidemount configuration.<\/p>\n

We spent a solid 90 minutes practising multiple skills and emergency drills; a most productive and valuable dive which will certainly be repeated in the near future!<\/p>\n
