I have to add, your note made me think - why not just check the thermometer readings in a "known" room? My living room. (Probably should have thought of this before, but i guess i thought the computer didn't start really "doing work" until it got to a certain depth... Not so.) Anyway, i turned...

Hello, thanks for the response. I have to say that the temp reading on my computer for the cert dives actually seemed to match the air temp those days, but i really didn't check it before entering the water so can't swear to that. It was more based on the weather predictions those days (was...

Hello all - i have posted the question below on the "Manufacturer Q & A" area for Aqualung, but also wanted to ask if any fellow divers have seen the same thing, or have advice (like, "yes, this is common - don't use it for that", or "no, this should work better than this"...) Thanks - I am a...

Hello - I am a newly certified diver, and the shop where i certified recommended the i300 dive computer, which i bought from them. The first time i used it was on my 4 cert dives over the weekend of May 6/7 at Lake Denton in Avon Park, FL. Well, my computer registered temps of 87 and 88 for...

Thanks Aquavelvet, good info. I wanted to share that i had my first CW dive yesterday and went well (not just informative, but was fun). Anyway, i just wore my swim trunks and i have to admit, i was a little chilly at times, and here's the reason: instruction time. While practicing...

Thanks guys, you've all been extremely generous with your time and info. I'm guessing i'll have to take it one dive at a time, and see where i fit in that blend of conditions... I still think your advice will make me less likely to spend on things i didn't need to, and can't ask for much more...

Thanks Irish, i think you're right on. I just called the dive shop and happened to get the instructor. He said the water will be 80 to 84 and that i should probably just use a swimsuit. He also said he'll be wearing a shortie too, just like you mentioned. Of course, he's an instructor with...

Interesting, so the hood makes quite a difference then? i guess that makes sense. I must say, i was worried about going too far and being too warm too, but if you're comfortable in the 5mm in 80 degree water, it sounds like there really is some range to this. Also, i'm doing my training up...

Thanks again Irish - you're too much. All good info, and i appreciate your taking the time. I'll try to remember to post back with what i do (and what i learn from it).

Thanks Lorenzoid. While i was responding to 2airishuman, i guess you had posted. Wow! What a great forum. And to your point about warmth/comfort being a bit personal - i bet that's right, but also probably means, the more opinions the better. And i'm grateful for yours. I think i kind of...

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. So the ras hguard supplies some warmth? or it's just something that will be good to have under the wet suit anyway, and maybe provides some skin protection? I'm fairly small, 5'7" tall and 150lbs. I few extra pounds in the middle, but not considered heavy I...

Hello all. I'm new to diving and this forum. Even though still training, i have a very specific diving target area. I visit Florida 4 times per year (basically once per season) and would like to go diving each time i'm there. I'll be in the Venice (gulf coast) area and have found that the...
