You raise a good point. Do you move a lot underwater...or do you tend to stay in one place? Either way, I think you'll be surprised how much your diving changes once you own a drysuit. Repetitive dives at night, repetitive multi-day dive trips in the winter...no problem. I'll be the first to admit, though, that drysuit diving isn't without compromise (more drag, need to pay attention to trim more, worry about punctures, worry about damaging zipper, tight seals, etc.).With all due respect, you haven't dove with me. You have no idea how slow or fast I dive. Apropos of nothing, my photographer buddies never had to complain.
That's cool. We all have our own priorities. I like good food, too, so I can see your point. Perhaps living in San Diego has spoiled me a bit. The ocean breeze thing I kinda take for granted now.Besides, there is good chow waiting topside after every dive; and as lovely as the dives are, nothing beats fresh ocean breeze and island vistas.
fnfalman in a DRYSUIT? I thought I would never see the day. What happened to gear up and be in the water faster than anyone else could? :-D
What?!
Does that mean you're changing out that great hood of yours too?
How will I recognize you with out the hood, underwater?....LOL
After about 30 dives or so in the Fusion I used a buddies' TLS 350 and I could not not easily control it -- the bubble had me all over the place. I very quickly returned to my Fusion the next dive
HT, You are going to love it. Trust me.
