OMG, why so expensive?

I saw Faith's photos from the last trip and would pay that in a second. If I had it...

I told Susan at the last Casino Point DUI Demo Days that when she held one in Antarctica she might finally get me to dive dry. Gulp... I may have to eat my words! By the way, the instructor who rents my spare room just got a DUI drysuit to replace the ancient non-DUI one that leaked like a sieve. He can't believe how warm he is in it... and I'm pleased as punch that he will no longer be using my dryer 7 days a week for his undergarments!

Wow, and I thought my trip to the Maldives was expensive!

Maybe I'll be able to justify the expense the next time around... here's to hoping this happens again!

For the cheap seats...

Are drysuits really sufficiently warm that you can sit on a block of ice and not freeze your butt off?

If you have the money this would be a trip of a lifetime.

Sort of. Drysuits don't keep you warm - they keep you dry. It's what you wear under them that keeps you warm.
