Plan: average depth of 36 m and explore the Lina bridge section. Deco at 21 m: 1,1,1,1,2,12. Very cool wreck. The descent could have been faster but on the wreck it went great; very well preserved. On the roof we saw the funnel with the owner's big 6 on it. Very large, beautifully overgrown chains adorned it. The ascent was reasonably close to the shotline. Kim was slightly light but that will go much better on dive 2.
