It's been 5 years since I posted here and almost 4 years since I've been diving. Sad but true. Life happened. Actually I did a guided dive/skills review at Blue Heron a few days ago to get reacquainted with my gear and the water.
I'm an old fart who only got certified in 2017. I have about 60...
Hi all. I really enjoyed the spring gathering and have been planning on this one since. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make it. Been on the road working for six months and won't be back in time...:tired:
Be fun and have safe!
I've only bought two suits, a Bare Reactive 5mm and a Lavacore full suit. I'm 5'7" and 150 pounds.
The Lavacore is a small and fits well according to their size chart.
I first bought a small Reactive based on their sizing chart but when I wore it a bit longer at home I realized it was way too...
Yeah, so this was a tough one. Lots of pros and a few significant cons to the summer position. Hearing great things about diving NY would have made it an easier decision, but the fact that there is at least some interesting diving nearby is enough to rationalize throwing my hat in the ring for...

On the...
I can work a good paying summer job in Hunter NY that would be good for my resume from early May through mid September. Thing is I'll miss all of the nice diving in FL which I've been looking forward to.
Lake George looks nice, but at home I'm surrounded by crystal clear springs and only a few...
In case anyone wonders why I want to keep my bladder clean inside, I usually suck the air out before entering the water from a boat.
I dive a 5mm suit pretty often, and it's a tight fitting one (Bare Reactive). It's so tight that the air trapped in my suit takes a long time to purge and I end...
I'm on city water but point taken.
Since I've learned that this isn't a good method for cleaning a BC I've abandoned it.
I think I made some good points though and its good to consider that the resources we use (waste?) on diving is basically selfish. I'm willing to bet that I use/waste less...
