Notes
I guess, this was one-of-those dives.

From the beginning I didn't feel relaxt We tried to find the new aircraft wreck by following the orange underwater line, starting not far from the entrance point of the lake. From about 8m the visibility became very bad (<0.5m) and also there was a very strong thermocline. At about 16m it was dark, cold and my buddy had to stay very close.
Probably some other DIR divers were using this bad environment to do some line-usage training. However, one of the lines got trapped at one of the buckles of my right fin. Since visibility was that bad, I had difficulties to see what was pulling my fin.

Since Paul also didn't have a knife with him (due to the fact that he had mounted his knife on his inflator hose and this hose was replaced just at the end of previous dive), I started to worry. Fortunately, I managed to break-free and we swam back again until visibility became much better.

We concluded our dive just swimming quite a while at about 5m along the west-side of the lake. Although there wasn't much life to see, visibility was quite good.

5kg in fresh water seems to be more than sufficient. Maybe I should try 4kg next time.
