Finally done, I just completed my OW certification dives yesterday at Lake Rawlings, VA. Other than the air temp being a bit chilly and the hike back up the hill to the area we were at, it was a great weekend. Had little problem with the BC remove and replace, but I'll just have to find some pool time to work on it. Waer temp was about 68 at the surface so the 7mil Farmer John with gloves and boots (no hood) was just about right. Can't wait to get out and dive.
