Third dive back at the Karlsruhe and we definitely found it again - two out of three times! (",)
This was a surprise dive as the MV Karin had problems yesterday and we thought we had done our last dive. An engineer came to look at the engine, presumed gearbox problem, sorted it out and the captain was keen to test how it sailed.. We were given the option of doing another dive and most were keen.
