Hey is Brax on the board? If not would you mind PM'ing me his cell? I'd at least like to text him my congratulations on graduating. Shore diving sounds fine to me and I kind of want to see the bluffs witht hte water this high. SoccerJeni dove them last week and said it was a reall pretty...
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?
Ditto what Avon said... I got a great deal at Leisurepro.com... I got a Neosport by Henderson7/5mm jumpsuit with 5mm Hood, 5mm Gloves and 5mm Boots for $160.... Dove in it this weekend with Avon and it was warm and toasty. Avon got a farmer John style suit and if had to do it over again I'd get...
There was a bunch of folks from OK there... in fact I think my guide was from one of the OK shops.... fantasick bunch of folks...
BTW I am laughing my a$$ off at your avitar:rofl3:
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!
Ok... just got back from the DUI Dog Rally at Beaver lake. THe diving was just off the northern end of the dam and the water was about 58 degrees. The viz was maybe 1 ft near the shore where folks were gearing up (which is to be expected), but once we got out a little way we had viz up to...
Holy Cow! I was sure it would be like diving in mud! Yes please send an update! You going to Dog Day tomorrow? Sounds like the morning will be best... thunderstorms in the afternoon last I checked.
Cheers!
Steve
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...
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...
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!
Will you be around next weekend? DUI is having Dog Days next Saturday on Beaver Lake (Eureka Springs AR)... Northwest corner of AR... about 3.5 to 4 hrs from Little Rock.
Should be lots of divers and you can test drive a dry suit if you want to. I'm planning on going... right now the vis is...
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...
