Grunner See - part 2

Yoda was talking about his secret adventure in Gruner See with such enthusiasm that also Damjan, the first CMAS instructor with spinal cord injury wanted to experience that. So Diving at Gruner See must be repeated.
 
The reason was very simple; we wanted to know who will be the coldest in ice water.
 
Team was composed by Ales Povse Yoda (quadriplegia), Damjan Peklar (paraplegia) and able bodied assistants: Rajko Prelog, Slavko Pacnik, Alenka Fidler and Branko Ravnak.
 
Duration of the dive was 35 minutes; maximum depth 4 metres; visibility were excellence; water temperature 6 degrees, outside only 18 degrees.
 
After the dive we hid in a restaurant near the lake and afford classical goodness of Slovenian farms (Russian vodka, white wine from Haloze, bunko, homemade cheese and bread ...)
