September 14, 2013^<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having the boat confiscated cost us about six hours, and at least one dive.<\/p>\n

But, Kamil found another boat, so the plans changed.<\/p>\n

The first dive of the day was going to be on the Bryza Wreck<\/a>, which was a Cutter Ship that was purposely sunk for divers just several years ago.<\/p>\n

Igor was teaching some class, I’m not exactly sure which one, but I was to tag along and follow.<\/p>\n

I think at this point, they are pretty certain I can manage myself underwater.<\/p>\n

\"1_Igor_and_divers\"
\nIgor and the divers gear up.<\/p>\n

\"2_diving_the_baltic\"
\nWe swim to the buoy that marks where the ship is. <\/p>\n

Logged SCUBA Dive #447<\/p>\n

Dove with Igor and three other Polish Divers<\/p>\n

Bryza Wreck
\nHel, Poland<\/p>\n

In With: 3000 psi
\nOut With: 900 psi
\nMax depth: 62 feet
\nWaves: Mild chop
\nVisibility: 15 feet
\nWater Temperature: 49 degrees
\nAir Temperature: 68 degrees
\nTotal Bottom Time: 35 minutes or so<\/p>\n

\"3_doubles_are_macho\"
\nMost divers had double tanks – that is extremely macho, in diver terms.<\/p>\n

\"4_bryza4\"
\nPart of the front, above the bow.<\/p>\n

\"5_bryza5\"
\nI’m following the group, trying not to be a burden on the class.<\/p>\n

\"6_bryza6\"
\nIgor was easy to spot – he was diving with a side mounted cave configuration.<\/p>\n

\"7_bryza7\"
\nWe inspect the hull for leaks – I was amazed at what little sea growth is on these wrecks.<\/p>\n

The ocean water in the Baltic is also not very salty; it’s almost like lake water.<\/p>\n

\"8_bryza8\"
\nA porthole.<\/p>\n

\"9_bryza9\"
\nA safety stop to reduce the possibility of death.<\/p>\n

\"10_kasia\"
\nKasia mans the compressors.<\/p>\n

I declined another dive today.<\/p>\n

It is getting late and I have an issue – Igor is leaving tomorrow night and can drop me off at the Gdansk train station. <\/p>\n

However, I don’t believe the trains run that late.<\/p>\n

Kamil can drop me off in Gdansk on Monday.<\/p>\n

Either way, once I reach Warsaw, I need a place to stay.<\/p>\n

I walked into town to use the internet and to see what I could do.<\/p>\n
