DUI Event

[ScubaTexan]

mardigrastexan once bubbled...
Water temp at CSSP on Nov8th was 68 degrees with a vis of 10-15 feet.

Water temp at CSSP today (15 Nov) was 64 degrees from the surface to about 45 feet. Most everyone else dived either dry or semi-dry. I, however, did 3 dives in my 5mm with hood and gloves. The water got your attention in a hurry once you first got in , but after a few minutes in the water, it wasn't too bad. I just hope I don't catch a cold....

Head count?!!

I will be out there around 9 am, and i will be going with my instructor and will probably be set up near the tent and will be there till late afternoon and evening

my main focus out there is to tet the suits and to finalize which suit i want to get and then to have them measure me up for my suit for when i will get it in the spring once i have this project im working on.

i will either be comming in a beige camery with hail damage or in a dark blue mitsubushi lancer.

I'm still up in the air about it.

Its supposed to be a nice weekend for it. I probably won't decide until Friday night.

A bit windy, but the sun was shining and everyone was comfortable in shorts. November in Texas!

After standing in line for 2 hours (OK, I admit I was a bit peeved - there were only 5 people in front of me) I ended up with a TLS 350. Very comfortable in & out of the water.

I also got to try some Volos, since my fins were way too small once I donned the rock boots. I never realized how heavy my ScubaPro fins are until today. The Volos were great for sprints, but I'll stick with my SP's.

Dan from Sea & Sea gave me their DX rig to try out. Unfortunately the 2' vis didn't offer much chance to shoot pics. He burned a CD for me so here ya go:

hey Dez those pictures turned out good, but where is the one of the pink tank:wacko:

the event was good but i think this year DUI underestimated how many people would come out for it as the wait to get suited up was long and the fact that there was a shortage of hose(which for my first dive i just used my inflator hose of my DUI delta to take care of the suit )

orgianlly i was wanting to dive a clx 450 as that is the suit im looking at to get, but those were all out that would fit me, so i got a chance to dive the CF200x which is a real nice suit and i was fine for the first dive but was getting cold on the second so would probably need some heavier undergarments (200 or 400, as i was using a 100), overall the event was great and i will be going again next year to help out as i was asked but Faith, and tony to help out next year, and i will bring my camera to take some pictures above and below the water.


Dez and tom how much weight were you needing for your drysuits ?

I was in my Whites Catalyst with the full fleece suit. I have no idea what the weight on it is and an Al 80.

I was wearing 30lbs total with that. I have found as I grow more comfortable I am shedding weight.

I want to drop to 28lbs next trip out.

I hasd a good time. I would love to try to talk BDS into carrying DUI, but I doubt it.

Is Scuba tooth also the one with 1 yellow and 1 green Force fin? I suppose there's another pair just like that some else?
