As we rose above 50 metres, our surroundings began to get brighter again. We were rising out of the cocoon of darkness that shields Pathfinder. Then, at about 40 metres we seemed to pop out of the cloud of silty gloom into bright water. We suddenly had 20–30-metre visibility again.

We reached the transfer line and moved slowly across it towards the trapeze that we could see hanging in the water high above us. As we rose we started slowly going through our decompression stops, all the time moving towards the trapeze. As we got shallower, every now and then one of the other divers would appear from the gloom far below us, carefully carrying out their own deco stops.

Finally, the last diver up disconnected the transfer line and we all began to drift under the trapeze, moving slowly upwards as we carried out our deco stops at 12 and 9 metres before the long hang at the last stop, 6 metres. As it was getting a bit busy on the trapeze, Paul and I came off the trapeze and whiled away the deco time circling the other divers on our scooters.
