Stormy Tuesday

Today we've had the down pouring of rain which we were forecast to have last night. This made it quite interesting at the Centre. Due to the corrugated metal roof, the rain is heard very loud, especially when it is as heavy as earlier on. So at times, we needed subtitles I think...We also had these little micro-power cuts, where everything went off for a couple of seconds, then came back on again - including the lights in the chamber! Luckily everyone kept their cool :)

I'm glad that happened during the 2nd dive, as the first session involved another New Starter, and I wouldn't have wanted her to have flickering lights to contend with during her first session in the oxygen chamber. She got on fine though, and the hour went by quickly, so she will carry on and do her 15 sessions.

I wasn't in yesterday as our sole 'passenger' phoned and cancelled. I was a bit relieved as I was very tired yesterday, hadn't had a great weekend really, and not been sleeping that great. I wouldn't have wanted to go in and not been at my best, operating the controls of the chamber. I think that's the way little mistakes can often occur.

But I'm back in tomorrow morning for another two sessions. I hope that the stormy weather has fizzled out by then as I got pretty wet walking home today, even with an umbrella!!

Back soon -
