A fully supported, dive infrastructure is available inside the heated facility. Ideal for year, round diving and training in the temperate climates of Germany.

Dive #343: met up with hebden, at base and road with him to siegberg. Trying out my new regulator configuration, known as a hogathian ( after cave diver bill hogarth main) or simply long, hose or primary donate configuration. Dive was very peaceful since no one was there (we were there on our Labor Day, and a regular German work Monday.

Dive #344: second dive was the same as the first, but but I did bring the new brass dominoes with me. They weigh 4-lbs and are a 0 thru 6 (double six set). Played one game but with only him and I, it was more of a proof of concept than an actual game. Still fun and they are heavy enough to play underwater for sure. Other than that just enjoyed being underwater for the first time in 18 days. Oh yeah ... My mother almost died during her shoulder surgery, so last weekend was e-leave.
