Deep diving is not always the most fun; many times you can also enjoy and have a good time in shallow waters, avoiding obstacles and practicing buoyancy without reaching 2 atmospheres (which would be 10 meters deep).

The cave was narrow so you had to turn on your side at a certain point.

In fact, if you leave this practice for the end of the dive, when you have few air in the tank (as was the case), this "a priori" simple practice will become more complex, since the volume of air in your tank will be expanded and it will always try to take you to the surface even if you carry the correct lead weight.

My diving partner is struggling trying to control buoyancy and lands some times on the seabed.

Here we were about 8 meters deep, so the pressure was 1.8 atmospheres (1,823 bar).

I make a 180 degree turn to dive on my air tank while I observe the beautiful surface of the sea.
