Last weekend...
Last weekend we were with Tero and his OWD-students to Wessö, Porvoo. Maria took our camera and snaped some nice pics, don´t get me wrong. It's not the first time Maria has had the camera, no no, she uses it alot. But usually I take or end up with the camera... The following pictures are taken by Maria...
The first week of May we went to Rhodes, Greece where we found Lepia Divecenter ( www.lepiadive.com ). The took us on two great dives to a wreck Giannoula K @ Plimiri Rhodes (http://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?159864).
Here are pics from that trip.

Hi and sorry. I know that I said that I would start writing again and that I would put pics from our last dives, but yes I know. I'm lazy and forgetful...
A summary since last time;
In October Maria and I went on our "honeymoon" to the Seychelles. Maria did 8 dives and I, with my bad back 7 dives, with Octopus Diver ( http://www.octopusdiver.com/ )

July
Hi everybody!
Yes I know, it's been a while. But this will be a summary of the past months.
July
My friend Åke, has join the great underwater experince club. Åke did his introduction to scuba diving a while back (6th of May). Åkes OWD course started on Friday 13th of July 2012 with the theory part and the confined water was the next day, the confined part was done i Flamingo, Vantaa.
The next weekend the 21th and 22th was his open water part, for that we drove to Vessö, Porvoo.
At the same time I'm on my DiveMaster course, this was actually the worst part of the course because I had to teach a friend and that not something you want. It's easier to tell somebody you don't know that their doing something wrong, and correcting them.

On Friday the 4th me and Maria packed our car and drove to Kuortane to the Kaatiala quarry with Kristian, the drive was about 350 km. We left Helsinki about 16:30 and arrived at 20:30. When we arrived to the cabins Teemu and Tommi were there already waiting for us. They had started from Helsinki in the mornig and had done two dives before we got to the cabins. We unloaded the cars and waited for the rest of the group.
Tero had 4 persons on a AOWD course and 2 others that were there just to dive. Tero told Teemu and me that we should be assisting him as DM students on the others AOWD course.
On Saturday we set of to the quarry after breakfest and did two dives from the shallow end, on both dives Teemu, Tommi and I we acting guides for the the 6 divers. We did two guided dives with the AOWD students and the Tero had them do the rest of their course.
When tha teacher is not looking you have to do something that is forbidden, Tommi and me took some rope and set of too the deep end. We planed to dive in to the quarry as far as the rope would let us.
Tero is not dumb, he know what we where going to do, so we explained how we planed it he let us go. It was our first ever dive in the quarry and it was worth it, it was awsome!
The max depth tha I got to was 29,4 m and our dive time was 21 min.
Because there was great visibility about 10 m Tommi talked me over to do a night dive as well, so we left the dive site and went to the cabins, eat dinner and filled our tanks and as we where leaving for the quarry Tero jumped in tha car with us. Tommi and my first night dive was 11,4 m and 24 min.
On Sunday we did two dives from the deep end with the AOWD students, the first dive was just down to the divebell, about 25 m where the did deep portion of their AOWD cours. And the second and last dive for the weekend was just diving around and having fun.
The my summary for this weekend was 7 dives max depth 29,4 m (new SB/PB) and 136 min, one cave dive and one night dive.
I will try to get pictures from this trip and post them asap.

Kisko 1.7.2012
Today we where @ Kisko near Salo diving. I did only one dive 24 min and the max depth @ 20 m. The visibility was pretty poor but I would say 2-3 meters. No matter that I only did one dive I had a blast waiting for the others with Rami. Like you all know I'm not the greatest writer so I like to post pics instead. So here's some pics from today.
The pictures where taken by my wife Maria.
