    Keeping Warm... How many layers do you wear?

    I think unlike the men I dive with, I seem to always be cold, regardless of the water temp. I dive in fresh water, so around 22/23 degrees C. I usually wear a full 7mm with a shortie over top. Towards the end of August, I'll wear a 5mm AS WELL underneath that but it's hard to move in it! Are...

    PADI OW certified...now what?

First time since my certification in May. The site was the Conestoga, and the dive masters were so helpful. It...

    Conestoga Dive Pics from today

    Your post was from quite a while ago, however I am doing my first open water dive since my certification at the Conestoga site next week and am very excited! Do you have any pics from recent trips of the Conestoga, so I can anticipate what to expect?! First dive... feeling nervous! :P

    Skins, layering

    Hey StephM! Thanks for posting that question. I seem to run cold all the time... even in the pool, I wore a skin, 5mm wetsuit, and a 5mm shorty over-top. It seems 1mm is the way to go for layering. I was going to go with a skin but am now thinking twice.

    Excited!

    Thank you for the warm welcome! By check-out, do you mean the open-water portion? If so, yes, I will be doing it here. No tropical adventure planned quite yet, but I hope soon. I think there is a plan to go to Bruce Peninsula, outside Barrie's Bay. Has anyone ever been, or recommend it?

    Excited!

    Hello Divers! Last night I had my first class for my PADI OW dive. All I can say is I cannot WAIT for next week for the second class! I was surprised at how easy I would find it to breather underwater. I did learn that I need to get my own mask, so I can see what is going on around me, and a...
