Anyone want to come laugh at the new drysuit diver?

[Clammy]

I went back to my 7mm last week and I do miss the maneuverability!! However, I still get cold wet after the 45min mark, sometimes sooner, so I love being dry... SI SUCK when it's triple digits though!!

Hey!!

I still have a 7mm full suit and hooded vest, along with a full 4/3 suit.

Although I admit, the 7mm hasn't been used in quite a few years.

I even have a backup drysuit.

I have to admit I dove 82F water all summer with my 5mm & 3/5 vest/hood .

Already really spoiled in my cozy drysuit- I'm so finished with the shivers .

I'd switch back to my 5mm in a split second - when the water hits 77F

Come on Global Warming, Soon Monterey will be a tropical 80 degree warm water dive!!

So got my Fusion in on Thursday and got in the pull with Jim this evening to do an orientation with it. So who wants to join me on Saturday and watch me struggle with the new suit?

Your are going to love that suit. My lovely bride has one and was pretty comfortable with it after just a few dives.

I'll be diving wet this weekend, last week the SI were just too damn hot in the Drysuit!

I hope not. Monterey diving is world-class now, and if the water
warms up, it will be centuries before the beautiful tropical stuff
gets established.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm really starting to like diving cold water - Its beautiful ! & MUCH better in the drysuit!!!

Mike, I can't wait to read your report !

I know, and I agree with you Chuck, I was just being A smart ass!!

And yes you are right, It really would be a tragic thing!
