The Last Dive of my 3 week stay in Sharm

Yesterday was my last day of diving after a busy 3 weeks of diving every day so we had to make it a good one. We planed a 90meter dive to the bottom of Thomas Canyon there was myself on an inspo, Aaron on a meg and 3 others all on open circuit. Our bottom time was 15 minutes with a total run time of 82 minutes. The Canyon opens up at around 40 then becomes narrower and opens up into a reasonable sized chamber at about 75meters then there is a narrow swim through which drops down to 90meters.
However the best part of the dive is the deco which is done on one of the prettiest reefs in Sharm. When we came out of the canyon we were met by the biggest Tuna I have seen, it must have been 3.5m long. We used a trimix of 10/50 as our bottom gas and I was carrying 2, 12 litre bailout tanks 1 with 10/50 and the other with an 80% nitrox mix in it. It was a wonderful way to finish a fantastic 3 weeks. I am already planning my next trip.

Cheers

Kevin
