North Head Dives

I've dived at North Head once:

Dive number	Date	Site	Location	Area	Country	Wreck	Freshwater	Depth (m)	Bottom time (min)	Total time (min)	Divers	Quality	Summary	Equipment
373	20 Nov 1988	North Head		Sydney	Australia			21	24	39	Iain Hosking, Scott Brown, Tony Longhurst		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.
