Diving and snorkelling at Capernwray 14 July 2018

I went to Capernwray and I saw a perch biting my fin. I also kicked up dirt from the floor and perch and a few other fish came to eat it. While I was snorkelling I let out a bit of bread and a lot of fish came circling around my feet eating up all of the bread. I saw quite a lot of trout which were as long as my arm. I wanted to see the sturgeon, but I wasn't going deep enough. The deepest I went was to the plane, but I couldn't see down to the plane. I was impressed by how clear the water was, until I saw that when it got deeper it got darker. I tried swimming to the bottom of a shallow bit, but it was really hard and I hardly got to the bottom. I think I need more weights. I was quite warm at first, but it gets colder slowly. On the second dive I didn't want to get out as I found it warmer in the shallow water. The best bit was watching the fish eat the food which I kicked up.
