    Aha... Now your PM makes sense... Will definitely meet you for a dive or 6. I'll probably even rent my daughter a thicker wetsuit and let her get her first dive in for the summer as well. You getting a boat for the weekend or shore diving?

    Trim and bouyance were pretty easy at depth for me too, but once i started to come up I was having trouble venting the suit and at one point started an uncontrolled feet first ascent :shocked2: until I did a summersault and got the air back up in my torso... still had trouble getting the suit to...

    Surprisingly good I'd say. Over by the swim beach it got even a little better... did you go to the Dog rally? Lots of fun but I'd ned a lot more time in a dry suit to become relaxed an proficient!

    Beaver Lake report

    Yeah, I probably will because I'm suffering from water deprivation. I'm still going to go to Dog Days because I bought an advanced ticket. I suspect Avon's right that the viz will be next to nothing... really gripes me because I just couldn't get there (something always came up) and then this...

    Things you've found under water

    Yeah they are... that was about $1K worth of mask. I think all he had on him was a 20 and the reward wasn't even necessary... it was just the right thing to do... besides $20 is a lot to a 10 year old. But I bet that gut wanted to throw up when he realized he'd lost it :shocked2:... imagine...

    Things you've found under water

    Last summer my son found a Data Mask in Beaver lake. Apparantly it was lost the previous evening on a night dive... the guy showed up the next day to look for it and was REALLY grateful to have it back... he gave my son a $20 reward!

    yeah...I think it's allergies... since we've ad all this rain it's knocked down the pollen and now I feel fine but I'll be knocking back psuedaphed next week to make sure I'm good to go on Sat. I'm also bringing a wetsuit in case I want to get another dive in later. Do you know what time...
