It took me over a year to buy back the lost first stage regulator (I lost one FSR somewhere during moving the house, but as expected it was a week after buying a new one when I found the lost one). Anyway I could finalise the technical configuration (DIR) and give it a try again. Last weekend I went to the well-known Wraysbury and there I decided to gently check if everything is OK. It turned out that I am quite overweight. Fortunately, during the first dive I was able to go down to 6 kg, and during the second to 4 kg ballast and there is probably still a margin and I can get rid of another kilo or two. First, however, I want to check buoyancy on cylinders with 50 – 60 bar before I get rid of those kilos. I was also able to check my trim (it’s not bad) and practice the basics, i.e. using elements on d-rings, s-drill, v-drill, shooting buoys in the water, etc. I think it would be good to repeat these exercises when I am in thicker gloves.
