PETROVAC AUGUST 2003.

We decided that the summer excursion 2003. has to be in the last week of august. We hoped that the crowd will be gone. Unfortunately we were wrong. We, were lucky that the weather conditions were good for diving but with a little rain so it was no so overcrowded.
The water temperature was unusually high, about 27 degrees, so we make the shallow dives last longer.

We also took the opportunity to try out our new RIB. Now all dives on remote location will be done from this boat.
7.5 m overall length, whit a payload of 3000 kg and equipped with a Suzuki 4 stroke engine, this catamaran is made for diving. This enable us to visit remote diving sites not taking care about the weather conditions.

Because we were only a small group of divers we were able to make whole day diving trips including two dives.



The club members also had the opportunity to se a closed circuit rebreather Buddy Inspiration in action. The dives with this State of Art peace of equipment were made on TRIMIX. They could also se the pro and contra comparing to a traditional open circuit technical diving apparatus.

Under supervision of instructors a group of younger dives made a deep dive on a reef in front of Petrovac. The feeling of nitrogen narcosis was a great experience.



Most of the days were used to find new interesting sites. The main thing was to find new location attractive to technical divers. Technical diving training is now available at Triton according to IANTD standards.


We are sure that this will give our members new inspiration and the will to go further with their training and education. This excursion showed us that there are still many unexplored diving sites waiting for us.
