Comments and Feedback
Please observe that this is the result of est 175 dives in Saltstraumen over the season 2015. I have a small bottle with me and pick up 0,5-3 kg on most dives. I would love to have the opportunity to tick of somewhere that this is a accumulation on more dives on 2-3 dive sites.
