Dive on East Coast 3/19/06-03/24/06

I will be travelling on business and will only be free after 4pm every day.

My drysuit's out having the boots changed, but if you decide to try a dive up here wet, let me know. I'll put on my 7mm 2-piece and join you for as long as you can stand it.

Thanks guys. I put in an email to a company called East Coast Divers. Maybe they can do a DISCOVER DRY SUIT class for me to do it. I will let you know what happens. Thanks! By the way. The coldest water I have dove in so far was 57F. I did it for 30 minutes and was chilled, not cold..just chilled. So I can only imagine what the OMFG cold water might be like on the east coast. Argh...I'd be a landlubber, Matey!

Ha ha ha - we call him 'Matt "the thermal reactor" Silvia'.

Temps this past weekend warmed to 40 degrees. By May we could be looking at 44 degrees at depth.

If you were coming down from Ontario I'm sure you would think you were nearly in the Caribbean. Ha ha - but for most mortals - you freeze your ***** off in a wetsuit around here in May.

It's just cold water... nothing 30 lbs of fat, 1.4 cm of neoprene, a thermos full of hot tap water, and a large and carefully timed Dunkin Donuts coffee can't fix.

Sorry guys, I forgot about this thread.
So I packed all my gear and lugged it to Boston. I never got a chance to dive. However, it snowed while I was there anyhow. I called around to rent a drysuit, but those diveshops there are freaking crazy. Way too expensive.
