My wife and I had our gear in the car about to go to Chatfield to try out my new dry suit when she said: " I really dont want to do this" ... so, where is the store around here where you can rent a dive buddy? :depressed:

I take it you didn't buy her a new suit to try? If you want to go next weekend (11th) let me know. I'd prefer Aurora res tho.

Thanks Mark-- No, she didnt want a dry suit..but she has a 5mm wet.
I'll definitely do it next weekend-- I've been wanting to go to Aurora. I'll get in touch with you next week.

FIVE MIL????? I wouldn't go either. YOU take the 5 mil and I'll take the dry suit!
Seriously, I wouldn't consider jumping into any lake around here in less than a 7.
Aurora Reservoir - Fish Explorer Colorado Lakes
6/30/2009 - Aurora Reservoir - The reservoir is open to boating. The water temperature is 63 degrees.

Actually I was in Chatfield last weekend and the water temp was 70 F at the bottom-- I get cold very easily, but I have dove comfortably in 70 degree water several times with my 5. If she wanted I would certainly buy her a drysuit or a 7mm. For her, the turnoff is the crappy vis and the lack of cool things to see. :beer:

If here turnoffs are low vis, and nothing to see, she is not going to want to dive much in CO. On a GREAT day, you may get 30' VIS in a high mountain lake. Normally it is more like 10', and often closer to ZERO! :shocked2:

Now you see why I'm desperate for a local dive buddy !

It was close to ZERO last weekend.. My mistake was telling her all about it
