Tradesman's general observations: Line repaired in first pot and bottom belay moved from rock at base of pot to flake which holds line away from the wall, tube used to protect line running over lip of pot. Not noticed before but is actually a small air bell above the pot. A plastic tub (sofonlime??) could be brought in flooded then filled/ sealed and used as a float belay above pot if further problems occur as an option instead of drilling a bolt. Second dive attempted to sort out Esser's line, descended pot and continued along passage, line was intact past lead weight belay to thread belay on right hand wall, then had been quite cold and I had a large amount of rope to deal with so tidied it and exited shivering all the way out.
