For what it’s worth. Here was my profile for fundies a few years ago at Gilboa. It was on August 8th. Temp was 73. It’s comical how much you don’t move. I did mine in a 5mm wetsuit

Thankfully I have been using dry gloves exclusively. Lake Superior will do that to a person. But if temps will be that nice, I will definitely use wet gloves. I do still fumble quite a bit when manipulating clips and stowing my light cord. Here’s a lot of fumbling when clipping off my light to start / stop my GoPro so I can try to figure out why my back kicks suck:I know which class you are taking . I might see you at the beginning of yours. I’d recommend 5mm wet gloves so that you can easily manipulate your clips and valves. If you have never used dry gloves, fundies is not the time to learn that new feel. I checked my log book over the past few years. Looks like temps at 20-30 were about 65 to 75. The platforms are at 20 feet so i wouldn’t imagine you will be at 30 ft
In the Pac NW, you would've done your OW in a drysuit. It is not hard, and much warmer.I dunno. Maybe one day as I get more experience. I read a thread on here the other day about floating to the surface feet first in a drysuit. That doesnt instill much desire in me to try it
