Dive 15, Falco Cave, Punta Giglio, Sardinia, 30/07/2004

In 09:50, dive time 48 minutes, max depth 21 metres.

Very calm. Dived with Irina, Martin & Mateo (instructors), & 4 others (2 Scandinavian). 3 minute adjustment stop after descent to 18m - mask leaking a lot! Difficult at first to go slow enough behind 5 others - we're at back with Martin. Also Irina & I have opposite buoyancy problems - she floats & I sink! After several attempts from Martin, we hold hands a swim together most of the dive - great! See octopus in hole & another changing from white to dark grey & swimming. Lots of fish: cardinal fish (red), white & 2 banded bream, wrasse, striped mullet, lovely coral including fans & yellow gorgonia. Red starfish. 2 sea cucumbers - mating? 3 minutes safety stop @ 5m - but Irina wanted up! Good & very enjoyable dive. Also good snorkeling after.
