20 Nov 1988 North Head Sydney Australia 21 24 39 Iain Hosking, Scott Brown, Tony Longhurst Three stars Second dive on the PADI Deep Course. The exercise was to practice breathing from an octopus while following a line on the bottom. I donated air on the way out, received it on the way back. We had time for a plowter before surfacing - saw groper, blennies, scalyfins young and old. Carried out simulated stops. Tony tested our reactions when a buddy gave the out of air signal. Mine were fast, but UK-conditioned - I forgot I had an octopus and gave him my valve. Wetsuit/BCD/octopus (Cathy's 2nd stage). Air consumption averaged 18.5 litres/minute.
