3 more weeks!!!

[robint]

okay, it's now 3 weeks until our big trip to FLA and we are both starting to get excited and nervous. I am already starting to have "diving dreams"....

Our last 2 ocean dive trips we had water temps around 80 degrees and my husband was hot on every dive in his 3mm fullsuit. He would like to buy a skin to use for this trip but we are wondering if the water temps will be that warm. We will be in Pompano & Boynton at the end of this month -- What do you think?

I'm going to Pompano over Memorial Day for a week and all I plan to take is a skin. Water temps are already about 77 degrees.

BTW... Congrats on the 20th Anniversary. Hope you have a great time.

hey guys, little heads up for you...( Understand that I am personally highly allergic to these little monsters) I ran into some sea lice a few days ago, you might want to wear a skin!

Skin!?! 77 degrees... brrr I'll stick with my long sleeve 3mm shorty until 85 degrees plus thank you very much.. heck I don't even shed my hood until 73 degrees.

Question for ya Vickie - since sea lice likes to find places to nestle and hide, why wear a skin where they can snuggle up close at the neck, wrist and collar lines? In all my swim suit and speedo diving I've not had this strange affliction of sea lice

Remember that between Mother's Day and Father's Day is the height of sea lice.
Whatever you do don't dive without some cover and make sure you rinse very well immediately after exiting the water, otherwise you will remember not to do it again for a weeek to 10 days.

we have no experience at all with these guys - wearing a fullsuit and hoody should keep us covered up enough, right? any helpful hints, please!

Irregardless of what you wear, the most important thing to do is rinse well with fresh water after exiting the water. If you wear a skin or wetsuit, strip it off between dives.. the longer you wear the stuff without a wash down the more likely you'll be carrying around sea buddies!
