Notes
Visibility was very bad. This seems to become worse and worse over time. I did the navigation.

At the beginning, I missed the tyre trail. I didn't look carefully enough on my compas and was actually heading south-west. Therefore we found the trail 'just' after the entrance of the waterslide and swam back to the car, where the trail splits.

From there, we swam (fast) to the 24m platform, but since Ronald became really cold (because of the strong thermocline), we turned around at about 22m. As expected, the visibility was slightly better at depth, but still quite bad.

From there, we went to the underwater chatbox. We followed the trail and found the platform below the box at about 18m, but since we were not sure on which depth the box itself was and we couldn't see it either, we (again) turned around and started heading for the waterslide.

That went quite ok, although everybody was already quite low on air (they did not pull them forward on the trail, I did, which made me a bit too fast for them; I also tried to keep them warm by moving a bit faster). But we reached finally the waterslide (after the 10m platform on the trail; I was not sure anymore) and swam through it. It was nice to do.

Just to make sure, we made a safety stop of 3 minutes on 5m. After that, we surfaced. Only me was above 50bars.

For the coming time, I'm not going to visit oostvoorne anymore. The visibility is really bad and I've seen the objects already quite a few times. No life at all.

Also, a lot of thermoclines. Below 15m it became cold, below 20m really cold. Therefore, we did not reach the 24m platform.
