First Winter Dive this Year

On Sunday, I did my first winter dive this year. We went to Weggis at the Vierwaldstättersee and did two dives. The temperature was five degrees, but with my dry suit and my super warm undersuit, I was fine. However, after diving in Thailand, the temperature was quite a shock!

The first dive was to 23 metres with a sandy bottom. The visibility was quite good for a swiss lake, about 5-7 metres. On the second dive, we were diving along a wall of rocks at a maximum depth of about 32 metres. There were some fantastic rock formations with impressive boulders. However, there were hardly any fish, but at the end of the dive we found a huge pike which was lovely.

I am definitely looking forward to do more diving in Switzerland!

The Legend Continues…Aqua Lung’s New Legend Series

Slightly smaller and lighter, the new Legend regulators provide improved performance with a modified yoke knob for better drainage and a spring-loaded Auto Closure Device (ACD) that snaps shut automatically to prevent water from getting into the device.

Both the Legend LX and Legend LUX have a patented dual control system, rather than a knob and switch, to control the opening effort. The Master Breathing System (MBS) easily controls both the venturi and opening effort automatically and simultaneously, allowing for smoother, more natural breathing.
